Vancy,
Hopefully in employee engagement everyone gets off the bench and into work. Seriously, it is good to see how others might be doing as long as the conditions and surveys are the same. Yet the paradox of survey data is it usually is a bell c...

- Vandy,
In regards to your blog questions. Protocol would suggest you don't post the same blog on two different sites although there are aggregators that often do this beyond blog writer's control.
I recommend that when you have a good blog post you write a short paragraph or a few lines about it encouraging people to visit the other site. You can also write different blog posts on different sites.
Let me know if you need more.

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.
