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.

"If managers cannot commit, then they shouldn’t expect their employees to commit either."
Well said and very true. I much enjoyed your article and share your views.
Bob Carpenter's experiences in turnarounds are the same as mine although I only di…

Engagement 101 is a mess of various definitions. We have a forum on this site with 20 responses already. See: http://employeeengagement.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=1986438%3ATopic%3A18
The Wikipedia definition is out of date, different consulting companies have their "own" definition and academics quibble about the terms. I encourage you to look at the forum. I like some of Tim Wright's focus on defining engagement and my view is embraced by my 10 principles at www.davidzinger.com. How evasive does this sound to you? To me engagement involves strong connections to our work, our organization. others to create results that make a difference for all of us.I think there are cognitive, emotional, and behavioral elements and I also think there are organizational elements. Some of the raw material comes from personal and organizational energy management: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Whoops I better stop or I'll take your whole page.
Judging by your website you obviously have an appetite for books. I love the idea and the ability to get a good understanding of a couple of book while also getting real nourishment. Welcome to the network.
David
Great to have involved with the EEN.
Enjoy!
