Dear Ian,

Thank you so much for agreeing to do an e-mail interview for our blog – The Employee Factor - www.employeefactor.com. We are very interested in your insights on employee engagement and look forward to your responses.

Questions:

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?

8.What do you see to be the future of employee engagement?

Thanks again and I look forward to your responses.

Regards, Judy McLeish

Thanks, Ian, and I agree that "employee relations" has a much sweeter sound than any of its euphemisms.

I am CEO of Wright Results. CEO means merely Chief Everything Officer. I am a company of one, which means I've a great boss some of the time and a great employee some of the time...rarely at the same time.

Welcome, Ian. I'd love to know more about the nature of
"employee relations" and what it might compare to, by another name(?) in the States.

Hi Ian

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
