Employee engagement is Job1 for managers because it links people with tasks and gives you a means to accomplish your mission and reach your vision.
Engagement is the marriage of an employee's values with the organization's values.
I just read a newsletter that pointed out that voluntary turnover was up even during the recession. If this is true, it underscores the need to involve employees and work with them to build engagement and to retain them.
Thanks, Melanie, I agree 100%.
I aslo agree with the caveat to ensure that there is a commitment to actually use the results. This is true no matter the economic situation.
I agree. Establishing the criteria for success before you begin is key.
With respect to when you collect survey data, I typically recommend every 2-3 years. Oftener if there have been significant organizational changes.

As a consultant, I often have the privilege of acting as my client’s right hand or lending a listening ear for what’s going on in their business. I am not a certified coach, but years of being a performance improvement specialist has taught me much…
Appreciate the question--but what if you consider that there is more than one type of "true" engagement, and that different types of engagement may involve more or less spiritual, intellectual or participatory involvement?
Create and support one language for your employees by clearly communicating the mission, values, and team agreements of your organization.
Say hello and ask them how their day is going.
