Hi Sonya,
Listed below is an invite I anticipated reached you a short time ago, but it appears as though it may not have reached your in-box. I would love to have you join us and be able to meet you in-person. Can you please drop me a line and let me know if this is feasible for you based upon your location? Tks! Patty
To: Individuals interested and passionate about Employee Engagement, and local to downtown Chicago, IL area
I sincerely appreciate the information and dialogue found on David Zinger's EE Site! I've spoken with some of the individuals and we have a strong interest in coming together in-person to network, share expertise, and create topic-focused interactive exchanges.
Towards that goal, listed below are details for bringing us together:
Date: Friday, September 25, 10am/CT to Noon/CT
Location: Downtown Chicago Loop location TBD (based upon # responses)
Potential Topic: Given the far-reaching changes across the economy and it's cascading impact to business and people -> Impacts/Opportunities in the EE arena
Cost: None
To obtain an estimate for the number of people, please forward the following by Friday, September 4:
1) Generally, are you interested in connecting in-person? What are some of the desires you would like to achieve from the in-person connection? What value can it bring for you? What ideas/topics are of interest?
2) Can you be there on September 25th at 10am/CT?
I hope you feel as excited as myself for this opportunity! Feel free to pass this along to anyone that would find this valuable.

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…
Interesting question. I'm drawn to less is more, and even that may be too much :) My experience has shown me that the more fearful the organisation is, the more often it seeks to measure as a means to try and stave off the fear. It then often ends u…
I would contend never is too soon.
If you understand what engagement is and how to achieve it, then you know what an engaged employee sounds like and acts like as compared to one who is somewhat engaged or disengaged. Surveys turn people off while…
The real challenge to engage employees is to gain trust by giving them autonomy to shape their own jobs to their own wishes, interests and strengths but always aligned with an open and transparant organisational vision and strategy.
