I think we all generally agree that engaged employees are a powerful force for delivering company success. I think we all also agree that you cannot force employees to engage. You can, however, create work environments and cultures in which employ...
Treat people the way they want to be treated, not the way you want to be treated.

Great word ownership, Kurt.
Without a strong sense of ownership by the employee we don't get their full engagement, their complete commitment to the work.
The formula for employee ownership for any boss is to listen to the employee and that give...
Remember, recognition is free. It's not material. It's a communication tool. I agree with Ben that employees need a voice and a safe place to use it. They also want some ownership in the processes and acknowledgment that the tasks they perform mea...
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...
Hi Leigh
I am an Employee Engagement Specialist in the department of Organizational Effectiveness. I work for a company about the size that you are looking for. We began kicking off employee engagement surveys last April. As of now we have a year...

Teach your employees how to Manage Up: Some people think this is brown nosing, but it's really about helping your boss understand who you are.
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...
Be real, don't use jargon, and be honest. If something is going to hurt people would rather be prepared!

I used to live in SA but can't place Ruimsig. How are things and how on earth are you finding time for the Masters?

International feedback and insights are always welcome.
Having done research on employee engagement for the last five years I believe the key in sustaining it is helping people think better (as opposed to telling them what to do) and learning to preferably have their daily activities provide the feedback.
If this is helpful or of interest in your studies, I invite you to visit my website at. Several resources at the top of the page are free including daily webinars (Calendar), an eBook, a Manifesto, and Blog.
