Build Community to Keep People Engaged
On top of my work as a consultant, I double as an indoor group cycling instructor. If you have been in the fitness industry you know that there are 2 key challenges - utilization (how do we get people to use the gym) and drop-off/turnover (how do we keep people as clients). Obviously both are connected. In the last 2 years, we have begun to think about the factors that keep people engaged as clients (and in their fitness). Strategically, we have moved away from one person doing exercise to group… Continue

What's your engagement currency?
I recently had to address some issues with my 14-year old son - nothing out of the usual. We had tried verbal persuasion. After these lengthy bouts of monologue, he would engage in the desired behaviour - it worked! Not so quick... we quickly found out that it was short-lived and we'd find ourselves in the same monologue. Luckily he was quite open about it.

Jason:
Good points about trust and aligning the strategic engagement with employee engagement. We need results for all.
I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…
As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed."
There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…
This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.
I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…
Hello Paul:
"if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to
tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine."
I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long.
