I agree with Mr. Einstein. Most incivility exists because it is tolerated. I appreciate the extra info on #3. Thanks Robert.
I don't like to make counter offers. A counter offer basically says, "I've been under paying you all this time, but now that you are threatening to leave, I'll start paying you what you're worth." How good can the employee feel about that? Not a g...
Agnes,
In my experience the reason most employee surveys are of little value is that nothing is done with the results. Sometimes select information is shared. Sometimes action plans are even put together. However, in the majority of cases, the wor...
Nice post Brian. The "experts" don't always know what they are doing, do they? A lot of times they just rely on other "experts." The selection criteria are incredibly subjective. It can be tough for the "irrelevant" to overcome the false hype, but...
People change if there is enough impetus to do so. Most corporate change initiatives fail because of lack of communication and lack of commitment. Management is unable to articulate the value and importance of the change and the benefits to the in...
Lois,

Some excellent responses already to your great question Maggie.
The cynical workers present a great opportunity to make an organisation a greater place to work. Let's face it, they're cynical for a reason and if you can get truly under the skin of...
You've heard the hype, but how useful is social media really? Share your experiences, comments and questions.
Milton Glasser on drawing is how I think.
I would stop talking to employees and start listening to them. Find out what they want and how they want it. Find out how they think would be the best way to get it and help them to get it. They will have concerns, suggestions, complaints, and que...
Jason, Thanks. I agree that feeling in control is big. Also think the mistake with executive communications comes down to " It's not what you say, it's what people hear." The traditional "messaging" often fails on the latter.

Increase the quantity and quality of attention you pay to employee engagement - you'll get your payback and then some
