A very meaningful statement keeping the employee commitment and loyalty in mind.
Its true that we usually talk about motivating and engaging people and making them more valuable, but when it comes to employers branding we need to make organisation...
If you haven't already you should research the Gallup work as well as Towers Perrin and Hewitt. These are pretty comprehensive. Really are insightful. Carol
Hi All
Thanks to all of you for providing me with such vital inputs on this topic.
My project is still in progress, shortlisted 8 factors..now analysis part is left.
Hello Lalita,
In my organization we use Gallup's Q12 approach which basically believes that people can be 'satisfied' about their work for reasons that are not related to 'engagement,' such as "I'm really happy with my pay and it motivates me to ...
Try to think about 'employee satisfaction' in relation to 'feels good' and engagement as 'does good'.
So engagement is the satisfaction + performance. Accordingly you need to ensure that you look at carefully at the differences and don't confuse ...
Anymore, we are less concerned with employee satisfaction and very concerned and invested in employee engagement. In other words, the focus has evolved. Some might even argue that the focus has gone from employee (or job) satisfaction to commitmen...
Essentially, what you need to have is an Engagement model in place and through pre-measurement qualitative research uncover broad themes which can affect employee engagement (e.g. training, career growth, leadership, supervision, values, PMS, comp...

Here is some drivers of employee engagement from John Purcell whom I listened during a conference. There are the more relevant drivers he analysed during a downturn.
Those one drive employee engagement:
• Affective commitment -A sense...

I think we all generally agree that engaged employees are a powerful force for delivering company success. I think we all also agree that you cannot force employees to engage. You can, however, create work environments and cultures in which employ...
Treat people the way they want to be treated, not the way you want to be treated.
I am looking for some discussion topics. I have a team that really needs to come together as a group. (or, I have a group that really needs to come together as a team). I've done a few team building activities, but this time, I would like to have ...
Great word ownership, Kurt.
Without a strong sense of ownership by the employee we don't get their full engagement, their complete commitment to the work.
The formula for employee ownership for any boss is to listen to the employee and that give...
Remember, recognition is free. It's not material. It's a communication tool. I agree with Ben that employees need a voice and a safe place to use it. They also want some ownership in the processes and acknowledgment that the tasks they perform mea...
Recognition is important, but possibly not in the way you think. Rewards have negative effects down the road no matter how good they look. On this subject, read Alfie Kohn's "Punished by Rewards".
I managed people for over 30 years. In order to s...
I think recognising your staff becomes all the more important in today's climate of budget cuts, pressures and downsizing. We all want to feel valued, both as employees and human beings, and to have someone else say 'thank you, your continued supp...

... master the art of asking questions!
Teach your employees how to Manage Up: Some people think this is brown nosing, but it's really about helping your boss understand who you are.
Angela,
I think recognition is always essential but we have to look at the deeper reason why. Reward and recognition confirms value. Every human being wants to know, "Does my life matter?" This is the questions we help answer when we reward and re...
Be real, don't use jargon, and be honest. If something is going to hurt people would rather be prepared!
