This group is for anyone who want to talk about books on engagement, work, leadership or management. You can recommend a book, ask others about a book, or join in a discussion about a book.
Hello Lalita,
In my organization we use Gallup's Q12 approach which basically believes that people can be 'satisfied' about their work for reasons that are not related to 'engagement,' such as "I'm really happy with my pay and it motivates me to ...
Are you responsible for engagement in your organization? Is it in your job title? Let's form a group where we can share best practices and ask questions as the practitioners of 'corporate' engagement!
Profile Information
- Who are you?
- I am passionate about learning and development; have been in this field for 6 years ... prior to L&D I had 11 years experience as a Finance Manager in various organizations. I knew long ago that finding out what makes people tick was really what got me out of bed every day, not crunching numbers, so here I am!
I think it's a priviledge to hold a job called 'Global Engagement Director' for an organization like Mars, Incorporated, well known for iconic brands (think M&Ms, Snickers bars, Mars bars, Pedigree pet food ... the list goes on), private family ownership, and relentless belief in talented associates who drive innovation and growth.
When not provoking, facilitating, or project managing on engagement at work, I live in eastern PA in the US and enjoy spending time with my husband of 7 years, and chasing around our 4-year old daughter and the latest addition, a 2nd daughter born in January 2009!
- What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?
- Global Engagement Director for Mars, Incorporated ... I am paid to help others recognize the value of an engaged workforce and lead with that belief in every day work!

Mark Attridge, PhD said… - I am a researcher active in this area and I used to work at Watson Wyatt as a national director of the NDC consortium of employers with shared health care datasets. I have a copy of the Watson Wyatt report - it is actually from 2007 & 2008. It is too large a file to attach - please send me a e-mail and I can send it your way.

Angela Washington Jones said… - Jennifer,
How did you transition from being a Finance Manager to becoming the global engagement manager? I am currently trying to transition from being a general management consultant to being focused on employee engagement. I have an OD degree and I've just begun working on a Ph.D in I/O. I just don't see how to market myself in this field. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Angela

- Hi Jennifer. Glad you find my review useful. As for other books in a similar vein, I would recommend the following:
* The Heart of Change: Real-Life Stories of How People Change Their Organizations, by John P. Kotter;
* Values Shift: The New Work Ethic and What it Means for Business byJohn B. Izzo and Pam Withers; and
* Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't by Jim Collins.

Thanks, David, for drawing my attention to this network!

David Zinger said… - Jennifer, I just read a review of the book today at a another blog. I will mail you the link because when I put it in here it goes right across the page. By all means give it a shot and put it in the forum. I hear it is a bit technical in places and dry but some gems and a good review in the last chapter.

Not been around lately, but always willing to join the conversation. Net working is an ancient activity when you think about it. What technology offers us -- is the ability to carry out our intentions. Someone smarter then me, taught me that.

Hi, Craig--
What do you play?
There's a Celtic music session on Monday nights at Fiddler's Hearth, in South Bend. If you're ever in
north-central Indiana on a Monday night, it's a good place to be. It runs from about 8-12 PM.
