Pat Jewett said… - Now we are making a deliberate effort to highlight the positives. We print newsletters about our benefits. We give more options for 401k investments. And we try to do more group activities. Not sure any of it is working though. We are going to start a committee of employees to help plan our Christmas Charity program. That may help a little.

I took the opportunity to view your web site. It appears you are well established in the field of employee engagement. I'm on the other end of the spectrum - just beginning to explore it on a consultancy level. Background is in Employee Relations, small-medium size business consulting, and a prior business owner. My interest is in employment mediation and incorporating that into the workplace. I believe there is a real connection between the practice of mediation and employee engagement. I would love to hear your thoughts!

BTW – you may want to make a factual correction to your profile; Columbus, OH is home of college football.
