Building a coaching culture that drives employee engagement
Hi all!
Following up on the research we did on employee engagement in the beginning of 2008 we have just published a new report on the role of coaching - and more specifically the role of a coaching culture - on helping organizations acheive their goals. Effective coaching is, as we know, a key driver of employee engagement. It allows for an effective dialogue between an employee and their direct manager, and allows for personal growth - a key driver of employee satisfaction and contribution.… Continue

They various geographical reports are very well done. I wrote an article on my website about it too and hope to even write a bit more in the coming weeks.

- Absolutely. Sadly many folks fit the pattern. We could come up with a more complimentary definition, but I think it helps to understand the definition. A specific group of employees has found a niche in a company and are somewhat RIP (retired in place) - sometimes this comes from a lack of clarity on priorities, but it it can also come from a lack of pressure. Each organisation should help clarify what is expected of employees, but also clarify there is a 'price of admission' to the company.
I look forward to the results of the poll.

- Fraser,
All the best with your work. Hamsters did catch my attention.
I will be publishing the responses on my blog next week. Currently 19 said no and 8 have said yes.
I will also be posting the vote on Slacker Manager on Thursday so the number of votes should swell dramatically. I think it is good to get people talking about engagement.

If you have any feedback on the research I would be delighted to hear it - just add a comment to this blog page and I will be sure to respond.
Cheers,

Look beyond generic engagement tools: focus on personal drivers from employees, group them accordingly and align engagement tools.
The real challenge to engage employees is to gain trust by giving them autonomy to shape their own jobs to their own wishes, interests and strengths but always aligned with an open and transparant organisational vision and strategy.
Before you start engaging an employee, know him and respect him as an individual first and engagement will follow.
Listen! Zip your mouth. Don't interrupt them when they are opening up to you and expressing there feelings. Remember, its about them not you!
Engagement is to be seen not as an activity but that is the only way the society works.
The management equivalent of ‘Air’ is to practice transparency with team members by managers.
Dr. Jose M F, India, Bangalore
The most important priority for leaders is to cultivate, appreciate, and leverage the vast untapped potential of every employee in their organizations.
If you focus on engagement, productivity will follow. If you focus on productivity, you may not get it.
To begin engagement, sit down with each employee for 40-60 minutes, privately, quietly, and confidentially, and get to know them better -- thei…
I'd appreciate hearing from others on best practices regarding the frequency of employee engagement surveys. I've seen lots of debates on what is the best interval to use for regular measurement and it wouuld help if you could share how often you do…
