1. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and the role that you have at The Salvation Army.
2. How do you define and measure employee engagement at The Salvation Army?
3. Do you think it’s easier or harder to create and maintain engaged employees at a non-profit company than a for-profit company?
4. What do you feel are the best methods to motivate and engage your 1,400 employees across 5.2 million square kilometres?
5. What would you describe as your largest challenge/barrier to creating engaged and committed employees?
6. Can you provide us with a real-life example at The Salvation Army which demonstrates employee engagement?
7.You’ve been the Director of Employee Relations at The Salvation Army for almost 12 years - what changes have you noticed in terms of employee engagement?

Thanks again and I look forward to your responses.

"employee relations" and what it might compare to, by another name(?) in the States.
I would love to have the opportunity to do a "blog" interview with you via email. I would love to learn more about how you are creating engaged and committed workers in The Salvation Army.
Let me know if this would be of interest to you.
Regards, Judy
You are very fast. Must be cold so you are staying warm by the computer. I am thrilled you have joined this group and I look forward to what you can offer us plus I sincerely hope there is much of value and that you can take away from here.
