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,
The ability to inspire trust after the RIFs depends greatly on whether there was trust before the layoffs. It also depends on how the layoffs were handled. Were the right people kept? Were the people that were let go given decent severance? ...

Mike King said… - Welcome Nick! Nice to put a face to your name after reading your book, Lead Well and Prosper. (Now that I think of it, it might have your picture in it but I lent it out to a colleague so don't remember right now). Anyway, great to see you join the network here!

Raven said… - Hi Nick - Glad to see you joined the EEN. From reading your book Lead Well And Prosper I know you'll have great things to add to the discussions here. Here are a few groups you might be interested in:
Employee Engagement Writers
This group is for people who write blogs, books, or other resources on employee engagement.
Engaging Books
This group is for anyone who want to talk about books on engagement, work, leadership or management. You can recommend a book, ask others about a book, or join in a discussion about a book.
And of course there are many discussions and other groups you might be interested in . Take your time, settle in and get your engaging on ;)
Take care Nick!

Treat people the way they want to be treated, not the way you want to be treated.
I am looking for some discussion topics. I have a team that really needs to come together as a group. (or, I have a group that really needs to come together as a team). I've done a few team building activities, but this time, I would like to have ...
Great word ownership, Kurt.
Without a strong sense of ownership by the employee we don't get their full engagement, their complete commitment to the work.
The formula for employee ownership for any boss is to listen to the employee and that give...
Remember, recognition is free. It's not material. It's a communication tool. I agree with Ben that employees need a voice and a safe place to use it. They also want some ownership in the processes and acknowledgment that the tasks they perform mea...
Recognition is important, but possibly not in the way you think. Rewards have negative effects down the road no matter how good they look. On this subject, read Alfie Kohn's "Punished by Rewards".
I managed people for over 30 years. In order to s...
I think recognising your staff becomes all the more important in today's climate of budget cuts, pressures and downsizing. We all want to feel valued, both as employees and human beings, and to have someone else say 'thank you, your continued supp...

I am an Employee Engagement Specialist in the department of Organizational Effectiveness. I work for a company about the size that you are looking for. We began kicking off employee engagement surveys last April. As of now we have a year...

Teach your employees how to Manage Up: Some people think this is brown nosing, but it's really about helping your boss understand who you are.
Angela,
I think recognition is always essential but we have to look at the deeper reason why. Reward and recognition confirms value. Every human being wants to know, "Does my life matter?" This is the questions we help answer when we reward and re...
Be real, don't use jargon, and be honest. If something is going to hurt people would rather be prepared!
