I have collaborated in many ways with the Gallup Organization since 1998 when they first released "First, Break All the Rules." I used the Q12 in my doctoral dissertation and have always been willing to share my data with Gallup (as if they need it)…
Anymore, we are less concerned with employee satisfaction and very concerned and invested in employee engagement. In other words, the focus has evolved. Some might even argue that the focus has gone from employee (or job) satisfaction to commitment…
