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 participa…

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. Terry

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 the…

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, innov…

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

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.

Does employees’ satisfaction with workplace diversity positively impact employees’ overall satisfaction with their jobs? The attached research gives us some insight into this topic. I look forward to your comments. All the best, Kevin Sheridan

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?

Men get engaged when you acknowledge what they do, and women become engaged when you acknowledge who they are.

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