Listen to your employees and understand what gets them excited about coming to work!
Kathy Fitzpatrick,
This is a group for people interested in research on employee engagement. You can offer the latest sources or discuss the results.
This group is intended for anyone who wants to help Managers do a better job promoting employee engagement. What skills does a Manager need? What tools can a Manager use?
I would love to benchmark with my peers who have actually created a formal employee engagement strategy. I am in the process of developing for my company.
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!

Interesting question. I'm drawn to less is more, and even that may be too much :) My experience has shown me that the more fearful the organisation is, the more often it seeks to measure as a means to try and stave off the fear. It then often ends u…
I would contend never is too soon.
If you understand what engagement is and how to achieve it, then you know what an engaged employee sounds like and acts like as compared to one who is somewhat engaged or disengaged. Surveys turn people off while…

Before you start engaging an employee, know him and respect him as an individual first and engagement will follow.
Listen! Zip your mouth. Don't interrupt them when they are opening up to you and expressing there feelings. Remember, its about them not you!
Engagement is to be seen not as an activity but that is the only way the society works.
The management equivalent of ‘Air’ is to practice transparency with team members by managers.
