GM & Research Director for JRA (a New Zealand & Australian stakeholder survey & analysis company). Have been involved in both consultancy and academia over the years, and have a PhD in organisational psychology (because I wanted to know more about the two-way nature of the employer-employee relationship, to which for me 'employee engagement' captures perfectly).

As the ‘research guy’ at JRA (an affectionate term, apparently) I also speak about engagement at various conferences, work with universities on various research projects, and help analyse the largest collection of employee engagement data within New Zealand (using the country’s annual ‘Best Place to Work Survey’).
