Melanie Quinn 5 Reasons Why you Need Employee Surveys, even in this Economy

I have seen postings recently suggesting that many employers are considering doing away with employee surveys; many cite the costs associated with these surveys.

Now, more than ever, we don’t want to find ourselves i… Continue

Derek Irvine Tell Me * How Is the Recession Changing YOUR Company?

In my posts on this forum and throughout the last several months on my own blog, I’ve examined the impact of the recession on employees, managers, and industry at large.

Jean Douglas, CMC Engagement Surveys - Dealing with Contentious Verbatim Comments

I have encountered some interesting situations and would like to know how others have handled or would suggest handling similar situations. 1. Issues of harassment have surfaced in the comments. There may or may not be names. ---How I've handled it: I contact the client to let them know that one/some employees have raised some serious workplace behavioural-related allegations. I ask t… Continue

In the wake of "The Great Recession" and in appreciation of the changes in the economy and in the nature of employee-employer relationships, the idea of “employee engagement” (“Engagement”) presents an intriguing dilemma. While some say a focus on…
