Colleen Starchuk said… - Hi David. Thanks for the note and question. Best practices to foster engagement for longterm organizational success? I would need to say that an individualized approach to nurturing employee growth and satisfaction is the most effective that I've seen. The difficulty with this? While so many organizations attempt to move in this direction, many don't make it because they don't build the approach into a sustainable practice, or they don't walk their talk.

Shereen Qutob-Cabral said… - Hi David,
I'd like to reach out and encourage all the EE Network Members to download a FREE copy of the "Inconvenience of Change" E-book. This compilation of many talented Gen Y bloggers and writers is the testament to "engaged" social activism today.
The creative genius behind this effort is Matt Cheuvront, author of 'Life without Pants' blog (www.lifewithoutpants.com).
A short video and the FREE e-book can be downloaded here: http://www.lifewithoutpants.com/awareness/inconvenience-of-change-ebook-download/
Hope you enjoy it and if you do please spread the word!
Cheers,
Shereen

Jerry Lowe said… - David, Thanks for the welcome.
The view from Snowtopmountain is great. My philosophy has always been that when things look complicated and it’s difficult to see the way forward, it’s time to take a higher level view. The big picture for me right now on employee engagement is that we have seen an explosion of information channels available to employees, but businesses are only experiencing a small fraction of the potential benefits. As we move forward we need to see more convergence and simplification. Only then will managers be more informed and better able to engage with employees.

We'd be very happy to provide you access to our web based engagement platform, which is currently in private beta. We should be moving to public beta in a week or so.

Derf Snyder said… - Hi David,
Thank you for the welcome. Looking forward to getting tips here on employee engagement.
As I am currently involved in the project team running the survey for SingTel in partnership with a survey consultant, the topic on engagement is in my current list of things that i want to learn more on. Have experienced a lot of challenges in the implementation part but i really count that now as part of project management. I am looking forward to the action planning process that follows (our annual survey starts in a week's time) and hope to get tips from the experts here around that area.
Cheers

Warrick Glynn said… - Thanks David.
I appreciate the welcome.
The impact at La Trobe is mostly on the administrative staff as the change has been largely to support services. But wait - there's more! The next major set of changes is around curriculum and its delivery!
Cheers

- Hi David:
Thanks for the warm welcome.
I think one of the most important things I have learned over a long career as a consulting psychologist specializing in leadership development and executive coaching is that people are fully engaged when who they are fits the work they are doing.
It's akin to when I met my wife when I was in this flow state where there were no reservations and I was fully committed. Great workplaces are like that where people can realize their fullest potential and possibilities are unlimited.

Valerie Wallen said… - Hi, David,
Thanks for the welcome! A couple of the strongest links between culture, leadership development and accountability includes the involvement of leaders in setting the improvement targets, educating them in how to engage employees in the giving and receiving of feedback during improvement initiatives, and then measuring tangible results for those improvement initiatives. I would love to hear from your experiences with this topic.

I would stop talking to employees and start listening to them. Find out what they want and how they want it. Find out how they think would be the best way to get it and help them to get it. They will have concerns, suggestions, complaints, and que...
Jason, Thanks. I agree that feeling in control is big. Also think the mistake with executive communications comes down to " It's not what you say, it's what people hear." The traditional "messaging" often fails on the latter.

Nothing like a 150 page report to engage people, so we tried to make it a bit easier to engage with.

Hi Lois, my last organisation did some work around 'fair process'. They had some wonderful case studies around this sort of issue. They had three key elements which I though summed up nicely what could be done.

Well said, Susan. It all starts with listening, really listening 100% without the distraction of figuring out a response while the other person is talking.
