Into the slump!
Well done David ! What a great start to a sweeping project. I think an engagement approach to the lucky ones left in office to help them better manage the loss of colleagues in the down turn could be a good direction for this year. Here is South Africa, we find that EE budgets are being cut even faster than marketing budgets. We need to find a way to convince leadership that EE is the key to picking up the economy asap.

My view on this is that where you treat employee engagement like a ‘big bang’ corporate change programme it will always carry a significant risk of turning into an ‘organisational Vietnam’. Don’t go to war in the first place!
