I suggest you read the comments to Melanie Quinn's forum on "Employee Survey Methods" posted on August 20th. Also, other forums over the past year or so have addressed this issue (for example, June 2, 2008).
The answer depends on the size and cul...
Melanie, you present five good reasons to conduct employee surveys (engagement, satisfaction, learning needs, etc.) but I also agree with Jason's caveats. There is no sense doing a survey if you don't have organization buy-in to use the results an...
Thanks for opening this discussion. In my work evaluating the impact of leadership/management development programs, one of the typical findings is that employees who receive feedback from their bosses are more likely to apply what they learn to ac...
This group is for those who want to learn more about best practice employee recognition and to share ideas on this important engagement tool
I wonder if employees of the companies surveyed have a kind of survivor mentality. They are either so appreciative or so shocked that they have a job with little change in their lifestyle while their friends and relatives are struggling, that they...
I agree that employee engagement and organizational learning are connected. Continuous learning in organizations depends on a high level of engagement. It helps me to think about learning in organizations as having three levels: 1) individual lear...

- Thank you, David and Terry, for welcoming me to the network. I occasionally measure employee engagement for my clients and I want to continue to write about the topic in my blog and in the other publishing that I do, so I think the network will be an excellent resource for exploring ideas with others and helping me be clear about my own thinking on the topic. I appreciate being made aware of this online community.
And yes, I would be honored to have my blog on the EE RSS feeds.

I am so pleased to see you join this network. I think you can make a very significant contribution to other think, perspectives, and development and I hope this network meets your needs and interests. Thank you for the mention in your last blog post.
I thought your points were very important, such as: we can encourage conversations about how the term is being used in each situation. We should remind managers about “caveat emptor”. When they purchase an employee engagement survey or the services of a consultant to improve employee retention, they should ask, “What do you mean by ‘engagement’?”
Let me know if you want me to put your blog on the EE RSS feeds.

When employees come to talk to you, do not carry the "I am very busy" look.
Two ears, one mouth - listen more than you speak!
Thanks Ben, that is really useful. I have to admit to not having had chance to read this myself yet. I was just forwarded the link by a journalist friend who thought it might be of interest. It's good to get the opportunity to hear somebody else v...

But a very dear friend of mine, one of the very few people I know who fully understands engagement having done it himself, did review it and...
