The decision to foster a strategy of employee engagement in your own organization is a simple one; use it or lose it.
We talk a lot about engagement here in terms of strategy, focus, planning, and processes. It's easy to forget that sometimes the simplest approach can be highly effective. Creating an environment that is fun and enjoyable invites others to partici...
Nels,
That makes three of us that posted this talk by Dan Pink. But I think you were the first.
Good thoughts from Pink, especially his new model: Autonomy, Mastery & Purpose.

For those fans of Daniel Pink, here's some notes on a recent talk he gave at TED. Pink talks in depth about the things that motivate us including how business maybe getting it wrong when it comes to incentives and focus. There's also a video of th...
Thanks, Nels. I liked the definition.
In my 30+ years of managing people, I eventually became able to consistently and at will produce "engaged" people (over 80% of the workforce) whose high morale and high levels of productivity, creativity, inn...
I ran across this post by Clemens Rettich at Lifehack. He has some interesting ideas and thoughts on how clarity, hope and commitment can lead to employee engagement.

- Opportunity for In-Person Networking & Mind Sharing
To: Individuals interested and passionate about Employee Engagement, and local to downtown Chicago, IL area
I sincerely appreciate the information and dialogue found on David Zinger's EE Site! I've spoken with some of the individuals and we have a strong interest in coming together in-person to network, share expertise, and create topic-focused interactive exchanges.
Towards that goal, listed below are details for bringing us together:
Date: Friday, September 25, 10am/CT to Noon/CT
Location: Downtown Chicago Loop location TBD (based upon # responses)
Potential Topic: Given the far-reaching changes across the economy and it's cascading impact to business and people -> Impacts/Opportunities in the EE arena
Cost: None
To obtain an estimate for the number of people, please forward the following by Friday, September 4:
1) Generally, are you interested in connecting in-person? What are some of the desires you would like to achieve from the in-person connection? What value can it bring for you? What ideas/topics are of interest?
2) Can you be there on September 25th at 10am/CT?
I hope you feel as excited as myself for this opportunity! Feel free to pass this along to anyone that would find this valuable.
Patty

David Zinger said… - Welcome aboard the network Nels.
I hope you help your company see the priority and need for employee engagement. Employee engagement, in my mind, is no longer an extra or something that puts you ahead, I think it is fundamental to building the organization and individuals. I noticed you put two hh's in Chicago, is it as cold as Winnipeg...we were -45 yesterday.

I summarized some high-level thought leadership from firms such as DDI, McKinsey, Towers Perrin, and Hewitt in my latest blog post. These are all papers from the last several months discussing engagement: bit.ly/3a4uft

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...
Not sure if this is the same as the one mentioned but Gallup has 12 Questions that they use.
