Deirdre Pickerell said… - Hi John
I am looking at employee engagement as part of my PhD as well - Human and Oranizational Systems at Fielding Graduate University. I'm not as far along as you (started September 2007) but start my data collection in December of this year. I'll be creating a tool to measure engagement as part of my studies and will pilot the tool, beginning in December.
Great to connect! I look forward to the opportunity to dialogue.
Cheers,
Deirdre

- Likewise, Tim. It's a fascinating topic. I'm just starting my literature review and can say there is a lot for me to plow through. That's a good sign that the topic is as important to successful organizations as I believe it is. Looking forward to participating on the network.

Employee Engagement definitions are problematic as each consulting company works with their own tools and terms. Do you have a preferred definition or have you created one yourself?

- John,
Welcome aboard the network. I would love to hear about your dissertation topic related to employee engagement. The network can always benefit from the perspective of a researcher on the topic. I spent a week in Biloxi with my family before the big hurricane and loved our time there. I hope things are mostly back to normal.

Dear Ray,
Your concern is well founded. Employees look forward to surveys like they do a visit to the dentist! The Horsepower Survey, however, is an employee-focused survey to measure how rewarded employees feel about their work. It consists of sev…
Mike,
I will make mention of this new group in the next newsletter. Thank you for starting this and I wish you well and all European members the best with this focus.

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.

Well said and very true. I much enjoyed your article and share your views.
