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.

- 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.

Does employees’ satisfaction with workplace diversity positively impact employees’ overall satisfaction with their jobs?
The attached research gives us some insight into this topic. I look forward to your comments.

As a consultant, I often have the privilege of acting as my client’s right hand or lending a listening ear for what’s going on in their business. I am not a certified coach, but years of being a performance improvement specialist has taught me much…
Appreciate the question--but what if you consider that there is more than one type of "true" engagement, and that different types of engagement may involve more or less spiritual, intellectual or participatory involvement?
Create and support one language for your employees by clearly communicating the mission, values, and team agreements of your organization.
Say hello and ask them how their day is going.
Men get engaged when you acknowledge what they do, and women become engaged when you acknowledge who they are.

I appreciated the statement: "an invisible grandfather clause." Staying power and growth not just sticking around because of the pension. Well said.

Finding a candidate with some staying power is such an awesome thing. There are a lot of candidates out there who are willing to stick with a good employer, and there are others who are just looking to build their resume.
