I summarized some high-level thought leadership from firms such as DDI, McKinsey, Towers Perrin, and Hewitt in my latest blog post. These are all papers from the last several months discussing engagement: bit.ly/3a4uft

Thanks a lot for your help !
I actually did have a look on Gallup's 12 Questions, the only worry is that it measures more the enablers of employee engagement than employee engagement itself. I have however grouped the items into themes, and only o...
Not sure if this is the same as the one mentioned but Gallup has 12 Questions that they use.

I noticed that you posted to this discussion thread on social media.
I agree with your points:
- Social media can be a powerful tool in the right context or setting
- It is not a substitute for face-to-face engagement, but rather a compliment to it.
- It is a great tool when used appropriately, but is not the "answer" to engagement.
I've set up this new sub-group on using social media, and look forward to joining the ongoing conversation.
Thanks for the welcome. I have been to several places in the US from Texas and Florida up to Boston, New York and Connecticut. Never made it to California yet. Maybe you can pass on a few things about how they 'do' engagement there.
Welcome! Glad to see that you joined Manager Tools for EE. I look forward to reading your perspective on things.
Regards,
Terry
I am glad you joined. I have 3 children ages 18, 16, and 16. I love them to pieces. Great picture with the glasses. Your blog looked good even if you paused it. I'd encourage you, when you have the time and interest, to pick it up again. We need more people @ work.
