Profile Information
- Who are you?
- 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).
When not engaging myself in engagement, I'm thoroughly engaged in the wonders that a four year old can bring about - tiring, but fun!
- What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?
- I’m the ‘specialist’ that helps ensure JRA applies sound methodological and statistical approaches to the work it does around survey research, and employee engagement surveys in particular. 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’).

Appreciate the question--but what if you consider that there is more than one type of "true" engagement, and that different types of engagement may involve more or less spiritual, intellectual or participatory involvement?
Create and support one language for your employees by clearly communicating the mission, values, and team agreements of your organization.
Say hello and ask them how their day is going.
Men get engaged when you acknowledge what they do, and women become engaged when you acknowledge who they are.

I appreciated the statement: "an invisible grandfather clause." Staying power and growth not just sticking around because of the pension. Well said.

Finding a candidate with some staying power is such an awesome thing. There are a lot of candidates out there who are willing to stick with a good employer, and there are others who are just looking to build their resume.
Though you may find candid…

I'm a fellow Australian (albeit Melburnian) also recently joined The EEN.
I have not been to Brisbane for a long time but loved the East and West Coasts of Australia. I am glad you joined and look forward to you perspective and ideas.
