Many of my clients tell me that engaged employees ask questions about how to make themselves better, improve and are constantly seeking candor and evaluations. Disengaged employees tend to just do their work without much enthusiasm and are often i...
What a great topic with fantastic responses. Our business has of course been affected, although not as much as i thought it would. I have asked my employees for feedback about going into new markets, conferences, and more. The result is a 20% incr...

Thanks! It took me a while before I got to that name for the network.
True and good point. Participation is key for the network to be useful.
Presently, I work with Skills for Change, a non-profit that aims to help newcomers to Canada establish ...
Having a shared and compelling vision, continuously reinforced by communication, transparency, involvement and leading by example.
One secret for managers and supervisors to successfully engage employees is to strive to be interested, not interesting.

Engagement is about capturing the hearts and minds of your team, open your heart and show you believe in them and truly care about them as people and they will move mountains.
Set performance goals collaboratively with employee and then hold yourself and employee accountable for achieving those goals.
It is very easy to forget your own journey,share your failings as you grew,treat your team member as a mate inspire him.
Hi Ravi
I like the name 'Stomping Ground'
Good that your presentation went well, and thanks for sharing your slides.
The assertions you've made in your PPT slides are not wrong but the issue is that achieving all of those things depends on parti...
Think: if your boss approached you the way you're about to approach your employee, what would your interior
response be?
The presentation went off really well. The demonstration of the network went really well too. So far 25% of the staff have signed up. Regrettably, there is virtually no activity on the network yet. I feel that there is a lot of hesitation in start...
Understand every member of your teams motivation, align their aspirations to a clearly communicated business direction, give them all the tools to do the job and then empower them to deliver.
Care for people around you and get to know who they are, what strengths they bring and what's important to them.
Every day do a quick maintenance check. Do people know Why?, How?, When? and What? they are doing and are they free to ask these questions of you?.
Check your own engagement regularly. You need support, recognition and inspiration as much as your employees, in order provide an environment that will engage your people fully.
Engagement is a relationship that requires regular maintenance.
Start from where they are at.
Reach out to their hearts and values. Look beyond the Employee ID number and make a genuine effort to see and hear the person.
