Thanks Doug. We have just had a big conference in Norfolk about this but activity since is not as lively as I'd hoped. I'll keep you posted on any work I find too.

I'm pleased you spotted this. I blogged about it back in March 09, funnily enough it was around the time I first joined the group and David Zinger picked up on it. I had a slightly different take on the 5 steps, you can check them out here if you li…
The New Economics Foundation have produced a 5 Ways To Wellbeing report. It was commissioned by the UK Government’s Foresight Project on Mental Capital and Well-being to review the inter-disciplinary work of over 400 scientists from across the world…
One of the best engagement exercises I use when working with groups is to divide people into small groups of 3 or 4 and ask them to produce flipchart size posters of the successes they have had at work in the last six months. I'll allow one "hitting…
In small organisations, (10 -50 employees) , one approach I've found that is successful is creating a simple 5 item code of conduct, which all staff contribute to, refine and then commit to.
The discussions that arise before the final version of the…
One of the ways which is often overlooked is the induction process. To engage staff when they first join an organisation is crucial yet often that induction is sterile and mechanical. It is at induction that staff should meet the colleagues they wil…

Recognize that employee engagement is not a fluffy extra but the fundamental way you will get work done with others through conversation, co-creation, community, mutuality, and other inclusive approaches to achieve results that matter to organizatio…
Ah, the script for a boss! That is easy, but a long way from the traditional one.
First, I suggest the boss do a quick read of Douglas McGregor's "The Human Side of Enterprise" to gain an understanding of the theory behind X and Y. Then commit the…

Great stuff. Particularly like the piece about attacking "internal friction".
I still think the macro issues, namely around what kind of relationships does the organisation wish to have with specific groups/classes of employees need to be c…
My view on this is that where you treat employee engagement like a ‘big bang’ corporate change programme it will always carry a significant risk of turning into an ‘organisational Vietnam’. Don’t go to war in the first place!
Do it by taking lots a…
Manage by being a part of them, not by standing apart from them.
