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.

Hi Ben...
Thanks for the reply!
Question--what have you seen as a "clear, coherent script" that assures success? And do you think such scripts need updating to address the shifts we've seen in organizations and the marketplace?
All the best from…
In my experience, achieving engagement creates huge increases in productivity per person, morale, retention, profits, sales, and every other "devoutly to be wished" result. So it is always worth the effort.
But the company person, CEO or executive…
Do two things: trust your employees unconditionally and give them more responsibility than they would ever expect; they will rise to the occasion and surpass all expectations.
In the wake of "The Great Recession" and in appreciation of the changes in the economy and in the nature of employee-employer relationships, the idea of “employee engagement” (“Engagement”) presents an intriguing dilemma.
While some say a focus on…
Interesting question. I'm drawn to less is more, and even that may be too much :) My experience has shown me that the more fearful the organisation is, the more often it seeks to measure as a means to try and stave off the fear. It then often ends u…
I would contend never is too soon.
If you understand what engagement is and how to achieve it, then you know what an engaged employee sounds like and acts like as compared to one who is somewhat engaged or disengaged. Surveys turn people off while…
Look beyond generic engagement tools: focus on personal drivers from employees, group them accordingly and align engagement tools.
