I couldn't help but sharing this with this group when I saw it this morning (9 Oct 2009) and hope this is appropriate for all of you.
Some of my company's clients tell me that external motivation doesn't really work. Rewards don't matter to their...
Here is an idea that our engagement committee implemented this year. The idea is that at our weekly full-team meeting (30+ people), individual members can stand-up and recognize someone on the team or share something they learned and therefore rec...
One of the best engagement exercises I use when working with groups is to divide people into small groups of 3 or 4 and ask them to produce flipchart size posters of the successes they have had at work in the last six months. I'll allow one "hitti...
Frode - I love your answer. It reminded me of a time (long ago) when I managed a fast food outlet in a mall (fish and chips and baked potatoes). My staff consisted of high school students - mostly girls. My competition was the name brand fast food...
One of the best ways I have found to continue the learning (ensure the participants can apply their new skills and knowledge) is via a portal (using SharePoint but there are other options). You can provide mentoring/coaching via the portal, share ...
Hi Samantha,
I like the workshop example. It is similar to a practice which a mentor taught me for a group/team leader to involve everyone with their hearts and minds (engage) everyday. It was leading 5 simple steps of Thank, Invite, Re-Ask, Feed...
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for this. I've always felt that engagement surveys have the potential to be counter productive. This is a good way to make them real.

Bay Jordan said… - Hi Samantha
I have just joined this group and this club and identified you as a fellow UK resident. I am a (self) published auther and have had one or two articles published, but am looking to get more published and on a more regular basis. Can you give me any tips as to how and where I could go to get this done? (Most magazines I read, seem to have their own resident correspondents.)
Thanks
Bay

How's the market at your end of these bizarre woods? Tough times ahead for we folk reliant on discretionary spend methinks!

I'll get back to your page very soon and really read your blogs which I only had time to scan. They looked very interesting and worthwhile.
Best to you,

Welcome to the EE Network!
I see you joined some groups too, including Manager Tools. Very good. You are engaging quickly.
I like your point that "everyone has a story, and that story is key to their motivation in life." Stories are powerful vehicles for learning.

Thanks a lot for your help !
I actually did have a look on Gallup's 12 Questions, the only worry is that it measures more the enablers of employee engagement than employee engagement itself. I have however grouped the items into themes, and only o...
Not sure if this is the same as the one mentioned but Gallup has 12 Questions that they use.

Hi Maggie,
Acually we have a training module for this exact circumstance. We call it cynics, victims and bystanders it is part of The Conversations Workshop. We wrote a book last year called Authentic Conversations which has a great deal to say ab...
Hi Maggie,
Most 360 software is more expensive then that- at least if you want 360 software that is super easy to set up and comes with preloaded questions and is designed for 360 surveys. (see halogen, sumtotal, etc...)
If you've got your own que...
Beautiful video that makes you think about all the 'moments' in your life.
When you think about it, engagement is all about moments too...when someone takes that brief moment to get to know you, to do something nice for you, etc....in the end- all...
Hi,
I sense the key is to offer choice - that is to request the cynics create their own route to engagement in a self directed means.
Your role would be to offer the rich inspiration and supportive help needed for them to accomplish this.
You m...
