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...

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.

It is time to compile our next contribution to employee engagement.

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.
This group is for anyone who want to talk about books on engagement, work, leadership or management. You can recommend a book, ask others about a book, or join in a discussion about a book.
This group is for those who want to learn more about best practice employee recognition and to share ideas on this important engagement tool
This group is intended for anyone who wants to help Managers do a better job promoting employee engagement. What skills does a Manager need? What tools can a Manager use?
A pilot project: engaging employees in separate locations.
I created a Ning network for my staff members in May 2009. After an initial meeting with management, the idea was put on hold. In mid November 2009, management gave me word that I could go ahead and launch the Ning network I created in the summer....
