Engagement In The News
Time Magazine recently published an article called "The Rage to Engage" about the positive impact of EE on more traditional business metrics like costs and profit.
"'People used to think HR was just a cost center and not a source of value creation,' says Alex Edmans, a finance professor at University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School who has studied engagement... Edmans looked at Fortune's list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For and found that those firms' stock price from 1998 to 2005 rose a… Continue

Do you ever wonder how past leaders could have missed what seems so obvious in hindsight? Sadly, most leaders live in an environment that makes them vulnerable to managerial failure. The problem lies in a little-recognized reality of leadership: iso…
Dear Ray,
Your concern is well founded. Employees look forward to surveys like they do a visit to the dentist! The Horsepower Survey, however, is an employee-focused survey to measure how rewarded employees feel about their work. It consists of sev…
Mike,
I will make mention of this new group in the next newsletter. Thank you for starting this and I wish you well and all European members the best with this focus.

Jason:
Good points about trust and aligning the strategic engagement with employee engagement. We need results for all.
I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…
As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed."
There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…
This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.
I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…
Hello Paul:
"if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to
tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine."
I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long.

As for the name of the Orange Chair - well, the idea behind is that who ever occupies the orage chair has the floor - and all others must listen and develop an understanding....the chair rotates (which if you visit our website you will see as you go from page to page). It came about over a glass of wine or two with our gang and we laughed about it so much we decided to go with the idea. The reason it is orange is simply because of our corporate colours....cheers, Ken
