I recently was given a book entitled "ENGAGED! How leaders build organizations where employees love to come to work" by Peter Barron Stark and Jane Flaherty. Good luck
Hi Nina,
Thanks for your reply. I completely agree. I keep on reading about new consulting companies that have a new revolutionary measure for EE. I also came to realize that EE is an extremely broad topic and that I will have to focus on one of th…
Hi Lennart,
Congratulations. I think that if I were to do a thesis now, I would definitely choose EE as the topic.
Just a general note: in my knowledge, it is important to keep in mind that there is no agreement on the definition and measure of EE,…
Read Closing the Engagement Gap A book published by Towers Perin It summarizes five years of global research on the topic and outlines a five factors important to improving engagement.

Hello Lennart:
I would suggest you review the research on employee engagement done by the Gallup organization. They have done milliions of interviews on this topic, and a wonderful book that boils down some of this research is 12: The Elements of G…
I suggest that you read "Breaking the Mould" by Peter Hunter. You can go to his website (same name) and find very practical and useful info.
Best regards, Ben

- Hi Lennart. Just clicked on your name from the home page. Having landed here I like your sepia photo. Are you pointing @ something, or is that just a mischievous finger :). I like your profile on your cv, optimistic and a negotiator. Good qualities you don't see together too often. Hope you find things in this network that help you strengthen these skills even more.

Mike,
I will make mention of this new group in the next newsletter. Thank you for starting this and I wish you well and all European members the best with this focus.

Jason:
Good points about trust and aligning the strategic engagement with employee engagement. We need results for all.
I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…
As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed."
There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…
This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.
I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…

"if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to
tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine."
I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long.
