It took me a while to get to this video but when I did, I enjoyed the power of the voices. Hallelujah! Thanks.

Lovely, I did enjoy that David. Thanks for sharing.
If at first you don't engage - try again!
Enjoy this version of Hallelujah. It is a performance of the choir I referred to in my blog. A community choir created from nothing by the most engaging and determined choirmaster Gareth Malone.
The BBC have recently screened a series entitled the Choir. I urge those of you who haven't come across it to investigate.

Mike, web 2.0 technologies present great opportunities but I have not personally been involved. I have used film in a creative fly on the wall setting to demonstrate the change process and the people representation. This has without a doubt speeded…

A Masterclass in Engagement
The BBC have recently screened a series entitled the Choir. I urge those of you who haven't come across it to investigate.
One man, Gareth Malone, takes up the challenge of engaging the community of an unfashionable housing estate a few miles from London in coming together through music. The series shows how he recruits and shapes the choir from absolute beginners through to performing a concert in front of a 1000 plus audience.

Mike,
I will make mention of this new group in the next newsletter. Thank you for starting this and I wish you well and all European members the best with this focus.

Jason:
Good points about trust and aligning the strategic engagement with employee engagement. We need results for all.
I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…
As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed."
There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…
This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.
I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…
Hello Paul:
"if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to
tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine."
I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long.

"If managers cannot commit, then they shouldn’t expect their employees to commit either."
Well said and very true. I much enjoyed your article and share your views.
