Hi Dean, I just completed a Q12 for our Region, 14 offices with a total of 190 employees working for the BC Government on Vancouver Island.
I called it a “Temperature Check” with the accompanying visuals to reinforce that the survey was not about...

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...

I am an Employee Engagement Specialist in the department of Organizational Effectiveness. I work for a company about the size that you are looking for. We began kicking off employee engagement surveys last April. As of now we have a year...
