I think we all generally agree that engaged employees are a powerful force for delivering company success. I think we all also agree that you cannot force employees to engage. You can, however, create work environments and cultures in which employ...
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...
Hi Leigh
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!

I've just set up an UK group to help us network. Would you like to join?
I must join up to your group too!

Thank you for such a thoughtful note. I believe there is a very strong connection between mindfulness and engagement and that mindfulness has lots to offer the field of engagement and we can always learn more about engaging in mindfulness. One of my favorite quotes was from Alan Watts: If you make where you are going more important than where you are there may be no point in going.
Nice picture! And I love the title "zen and the art of employee enagagement." Can't wait to read your book.

Am easily distracted! Am finding the network really interesting, lots of great discussions going on - just need to do a bit more contributing myself! Might pick your brain at some point if that's OK as developing a book idea of my own, working title is along the lines of 'zen and the art of employee engagement'!
Ian
Thanks for the welcome, and for starting the network, what a great idea!
I look forward to contributing and sharing with fellow members. I believe that real engagement needs to start with a focus on the individual, and am particularly interested in how we can use user-centred design and creative techniques to engage and co-create effective communications - and how we can effectively use social media in the workplace.
And I will put a face to the name!
Olivia
