Thanks Ben, that is really useful. I have to admit to not having had chance to read this myself yet. I was just forwarded the link by a journalist friend who thought it might be of interest. It's good to get the opportunity to hear somebody else v...
I have not personally read the UK Government review of employee engagement titled "Engaging for Success".
But a very dear friend of mine, one of the very few people I know who fully understands engagement having done it himself, did review it and...

I've been interested in finding specific and actionable "tools" that can help an organization to better engage employees. At this point, I'm defining a tool as an ongoing process that provides structure, feedback and visible results.
I'd like to learn more about the tools your developing and possibly share with you the progress I've made in this area.
Dan
Thanks for the phone conversation! I'm very impressed with the toolkits you are rolling out at Yahoo. I'm sure they will have the intended effect. Once you have some breathing room, I hope you will share with us some "snapshots" from your engagement journey.
Terry
I too am intrigued by the manager toolkits you are developing. Please join the Manager Tools group and share what you are doing and learning.
Terry
Looking forward to reading great things from you!
I'm very(!) curious about the types of "toolkits and programs" you've developed. Content, format, process/procedure...all that interests me.
No blog? You must have a blog! I'm building a Blogs Not to Miss list to post on my Culture to Engage. I'd hate not to include yours.

Welcome to the employee engagement network. I appreciate the group picture. It indicated to me that you really get the power of connection being such a key in engagement. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and views.
