Hi David

That would be REALLY helpful. Thanks for offering to do that. I've only been a member of this forum a few days but I'm already getting a warm feeling of belonging! I've had some interest already from another member who would like to get involved with the research. I look forward to be able to post my findings here over the coming months. Cheers, Vicky

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Managers or Supervisors can engage employees by demonstrating little acts of kindness for absolutely no reason at all. eg. Can I help you carry that? Is there anything I can get for you? etc. etc.

Engagement should be treated as newborns! Everyone takes place in the growing process and they should never be left unattended.

For great managers, the path toward engaging employees and keeping them engaged begins with asking them what they want and what is important in order to be effective in their roles.

Involve employees in decisions that will affect them - they may have some great ideas that you haven't thought of and will be more supportive of the final outcome.
