It was great to hear the buzz around employee engagement at the Motivation Show in Chicago last week. It's NOT all about the "stuff."
You've heard the hype, but how useful is social media really? Share your experiences, comments and questions.
"Make your life a mission - not an intermission." Arnold Glasgow
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." Dr. Seuss
Let’s share favorite quotations that are somehow relevant to business. I frequently include them in letters, e-mails, proposals, and book reviews. They may not always provide a head-snapping revelation but do add some “seasoning” to the prose.
Anja,
I giggled at your clever analysis of a pizza lunch, and as you point out, perception is EVERYTHING - particularly in the eyes of those who are on the receiving end of the intended recognition. Based on your observations, it appears as if this…
I'm delivering a keynote at a local HR conference (Minneapolis) next week - the theme is How to Motivate Employees in a Tough Economy, and I'm looking forward to hearing what the other speakers have to say as well. Everything from compensation align…

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…

"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…
