Hi Vicki,
I attended a session with your CEO here in London last fall - I enjoyed it and thought it very insightful indeed.

Most often managers and leaders wish to inspire higher engagement - from and for themselves and from and for their people. After all higher engagement is a good thing across almost all dimensions
However, they also lack the tools, ideas and suppo...
Hi,

I think you are very right. The issue in western education is that the 19th century systems it has are outmoded for 21st cetury students and their learning needs.
We need free broadband across the world, and a computer for every child.
I would p...
Hi Ashim,
The key here is to offer people choice in the interventions they elect to make that are designed to inspire employee engagement. Further, if you engage people in designing the intervetions as a first step in the engagement process then ...
Profile Information
- Who are you?
- I run a business called Engaging ideas. It offers tools, inspiration and support on employee engagement and change issues.
Visit www.engagingideas.co.uk
Our core product is a pack of cards that provides practical exercises and ideas designed to help better inspire employee engagement and change in order to deliver higher business performance. It is not a theoretically biased “best practice” guide. It is a practical toolkit - employee engagement and change inspiration “in a box.”
It comprises 54 cards split into three suites - discover, design and deliver - along with a booklet providing contextual information. The face of each card describes a single exercise or idea, and the back of each card provides stimuli designed to inspire fresh thinking and to kick-start action.
The pack can be used with specificity or with scale: to develop peoples’ thinking, to enhance change efforts, as content for workshops and conferences, to bring a brand to life, to help design and deliver a compelling employee engagement strategy and much more.
It works by getting people better engaged on the issue of engagement.

Tripping over myself - see you are onto the discussion already. Great. I am pleased with the way it started up so fast. Maybe we have the kernel of a vibrant network in the UK?

Great to hear from you and happy to accept your invitation.
YOu seem to be doing some very relevant and interesting research and thank you for the pointer to the Synthesis which I will look up next week.

Vijay Kumar Shrotryia said… - Good to read your views on Happiness. Happiness at work and family has been surveyed and studied a lot in the last 20-25 years in the name of Life Satisfaction (or Subjective Well-being) and Job Satisfaction (related to Engagement as well). However most of these works have been from the developed world. Scandavian countries do much better in the count of happiness as compared to other group of countries. Further New Economic Foundation at London is doing remarkable good job on valuing Well-Being.
There is one exception to the type of nations prioritising on the study of happiness - a tiny nation called 'Bhutan', which is sandwiched between two most populous nations of the world, India and China. This nation has been talking and practicing the development philosophy of Gross National Happiness and it has really done wonders for the proud citizens of the country. Having worked there for 9 years, I have reasons to believe that this testimony can be replicated well by the organizations (I mean both profit making as well as non-profit ones) of people all around the places. Once organizations start focusing on Happiness, I am sure the stakeholders would derive a better sense of belonging and engagement with such organisations...

Hi Craig! Thank you so much for your help and feedback! It means a lot to me.

As a practitioner of human resources, and healthy EE practices, I would attach 'communication' paramount importance. Every employee feels good when he is communicated to by the organization and its leadership. It is so critical to keep co...

Indeed networking is old. I was in Nipawin Saskatchewan 1 month ago. Went for a run at 6:30 a.m. I passed Carla's dinner and outside there were 14 pick up trucks parked. Inside the farmers were having coffee and conversation. I bet it w...
Not been around lately, but always willing to join the conversation. Net working is an ancient activity when you think about it. What technology offers us -- is the ability to carry out our intentions. Someone smarter then me, taught me that.
