I was delighted to have worked with Julie and a fellow authors, Joanne Gordon and Don Lowman, on this book on behalf of EMC. In fact, the interviews they conducted with our employees set in motion a more comprehensive and engaged body of employment…

- Polly,
Welcome to the employee engagement network. I did not know you were here. What I mean by this is that I follow what you write on Twitter all the time but as you did not post an image here I did not make a connection. I love the connection of career, culture, and cool on your site.
I hope you will get more involved in the network as I appreciate what you are able to say in just 140 characters or less. I think you have so much to possible contribute to a network like this.
Let me know if I can be of assistance. If you decide to add an image at some time let me know as I will be sure to feature you.
David

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.
