Good to know I'm not alone in this, Deirdre. Welcome aboard! I'm thinking I'll use an existing instrument or develop a hybird... still researching this part. Its a fascinating topic with lots of supporting research in the psychological and business journals. So far, the literature hasn't given me much on measurement, though, but there are a few solid commercial instruments, some you can access through this forum. Looking forward to associating with you.

Deirdre:

Welcome to the employee engagement network from Aldergrove.

I am always so pleased to see another Canadian join us.

Yikes, I can imagine their is lots of work on completing your PhD in engagement. What was your dissertation topic? What are you initially finding out?

I look forward to your participation in the network.

David

Recognition is important, but possibly not in the way you think. Rewards have negative effects down the road no matter how good they look. On this subject, read Alfie Kohn's "Punished by Rewards". I managed people for over 30 years. In order to s...

I think recognising your staff becomes all the more important in today's climate of budget cuts, pressures and downsizing. We all want to feel valued, both as employees and human beings, and to have someone else say 'thank you, your continued supp...

Angela, I think recognition is always essential but we have to look at the deeper reason why. Reward and recognition confirms value. Every human being wants to know, "Does my life matter?" This is the questions we help answer when we reward and re...
