When the media makes things worse...

Have you ever felt that no matter how good or how bad, the media paints the picture ten times worse than it really is because the media is in business to ‘drive ratings’? Am I the only one who thinks this type of media hype and negativity is impacting the engagement of our employees more than the economic crisis itself?

Here is my concern:
As an employee engagement consultant, my colleagues are looking to me to help them understand how this economic crisis is impacting their employees. Besides… Continue

Hi Lisa. I really appreciate your observation about top performing survivors and burnout. This challenge was highlighted to me recently by a colleague. If you have any pointers/further material you could direct me to on this I would be very interested. It's a big challenge for my former employer.

Thanks - Doug

Hi Lisa,
I found it interesting that your form uses the same Say, Stay, Strive as Hewitt Associates does. However, they calculate an engagement score for each respondent, which then means they can segment the population by engagement levels - similar to the buckets you mentioned - just named differently.
I no longer work at Hewitt but was the Listening Leader in Canada and was deeply involved in the engagement research in Canada and globally.
I'd love to correspond with you and learn more about your engagement experiences.

Hi Lisa Thanks for your note. Nice to connect with that part of the world again. My sister spent a year in Bryan OH some years back.
I'm going to come back to you in a week or so as I'm out of town and country for a week or so. That'll give me time to take a sneak at your site an digest your comments but I do appreciate your reply.
Kind regards
Warren

Lisa,
Thanks for your note. I (along with others in our organization) believe that it's what we (i.e., managers, employees, etc.) do on a daily, regular basis that impacts an engaged culture. This might include how a manager interacts with their team members, what they discuss, how the employee feels valued by the manager, how and what leaders communicate, etc.

In my mind, this all contributes to engagement as a "state of being" in an organization. It becomes imbedded individuals as the way they "are". Opposite of this is the thinking about engagement only as the survey that is conducted.

While I continue to talk with (and influence) individuals, especially managers, to help them know that what they do every day and how they do it impacts engagement, I am slowly making change.

What are organizations doing to help employees and managers understand that what they do on a daily basis builds (or not) engagement -- ideas?

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...

Beautiful video that makes you think about all the 'moments' in your life. When you think about it, engagement is all about moments too...when someone takes that brief moment to get to know you, to do something nice for you, etc....in the end- all...
