Ah yes, Alfie Kohn. A bit dated in thinking, but also a bit confusing in how people will always use the terms "recognition" and "reward" interchangeably, which certainly adds confusion to the argument. "Rewards" Kohn talks about (trinkets and tras...
Derek,
In my experience, rewards have a negative influence. This result is well explained by Alfie Kohn in his book "Punished by Rewards".

I think you may find this post (and link to a book on this topic) very useful. http://globoforce.blogspot.com/2009/07/measuring-reward-systems-driving-change.html
It helps you determine what actions/behaviors you want to measure, figure out how t...
The best overall measure is, of course, company performance. Both revenue and net profits will rise with employee engagement. I agree with Ben Simonton that the management can't force engagement on employees, so the best course of action is to sto...
I suggest you read the comments to Melanie Quinn's forum on "Employee Survey Methods" posted on August 20th. Also, other forums over the past year or so have addressed this issue (for example, June 2, 2008).
The answer depends on the size and cul...
Sounds like management is attempting to "engage" employees, big mistake. Management can disengage employees, but cannot "engage" them. "Engagement" can only be achieved by each employee on their own and will only be achieved if management has crea...
Dear Friends,
I am working for an IT services company in India, and we are facing problem in figuring out the best way to measure the engagement program we have initiated in our company.
We have found that lots of people are just coming to work ...
Hi Ben,
Thanks alot for the suggestions, but individual approach will be little time taking. But yes we can do the same with a group. It will be a team building activity also.
Please suggest.

The strategies you have in mind are fine except that the company may not be able to sustain these programs for long. And this time around, it looks like a long wait before the situation for IT companies can recover. The employees on the "Bench" ha...
Rather than produce some program from the top down, why not ask some of them what they would like and make it an individual program. Start by asking and then if agreement, help that person. Then move on to the next person. You would start with the...
Good idea? Sounds like it. If the company can afford to reskill folk, inspire creativity etc then I think congratulations to them. We have a similar issue, though it affects a large number of people. They're not resigning but they're on the bench ...
Hi All,
Hope you all are doing well. I have a small issue to be discussed.
We are into IT services , and for some time we have noticed high attrition rate in the on bench employees.
Due to recession we don't have much of project currently in ou...

An engaging look at some words of wisdom. Which statements do you believe fits best for employee engagement?
Excellent - thanks Heather!!
I summarized some high-level thought leadership from firms such as DDI, McKinsey, Towers Perrin, and Hewitt in my latest blog post. These are all papers from the last several months discussing engagement: bit.ly/3a4uft
I know that Towers Perrin a...
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...
