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 cur…

- 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.

Appreciate the question--but what if you consider that there is more than one type of "true" engagement, and that different types of engagement may involve more or less spiritual, intellectual or participatory involvement?
Create and support one language for your employees by clearly communicating the mission, values, and team agreements of your organization.
Say hello and ask them how their day is going.
Men get engaged when you acknowledge what they do, and women become engaged when you acknowledge who they are.

I appreciated the statement: "an invisible grandfather clause." Staying power and growth not just sticking around because of the pension. Well said.

Finding a candidate with some staying power is such an awesome thing. There are a lot of candidates out there who are willing to stick with a good employer, and there are others who are just looking to build their resume.
Though you may find candid…
