I also saw this article in Science Daily. You are right - we all might have guessed it - but data speaks volumes. This certainly helps the answer the question on many employee's minds ... ''what's in it for me to engage at work'?'

Hi Anja! I agree with your point. It reminds me of the many stories I have heard over the years of 'recognition' that felt to staff like something else - even 'punishment' in some cases. One workshop participant told me about her previous employer...

Hi Deri,
Yes, "one small thing" can often mean a lot!

Deri,

Thanks for your lovely comment!

Hey Deri,

I mentioned the network to you, I didn't know you were going to show up.

Thanks a lot for your help ! I actually did have a look on Gallup's 12 Questions, the only worry is that it measures more the enablers of employee engagement than employee engagement itself. I have however grouped the items into themes, and only o...
