Jennifer, your "Engagement Is..." campaign is very interesting to me. Could you tell me more both about the campaign and how Mars is using the results?
Thank you for your message. I'm glad you liked the Connection Culture piece but sad to hear about your mother. I would love to speak with you, when you have time. You can reach me at 203-422-6511 or mstallard@epluribuspartners.
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for the add! Sadly I missed this years presentation as I was in Belize.
Do keep in touch and let me know how I can show you more around our work in Employee Engagement.
Cheers!
I am a researcher active in this area and I used to work at Watson Wyatt as a national director of the NDC consortium of employers with shared health care datasets. I have a copy of the Watson Wyatt report - it is actually from 2007 & 2008. It is too large a file to attach - please send me a e-mail and I can send it your way.

Hi Jennifer, I work for the Mars Bolton Foods Plant, good to see you here on this site. I've been designated our site "Expert", see what a good Gallup result can do to ya! How do you approach sustaining Engagement?
How did you transition from being a Finance Manager to becoming the global engagement manager? I am currently trying to transition from being a general management consultant to being focused on employee engagement. I have an OD degree and I've just begun working on a Ph.D in I/O. I just don't see how to market myself in this field. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Jennifer. Glad you find my review useful. As for other books in a similar vein, I would recommend the following:
* The Heart of Change: Real-Life Stories of How People Change Their Organizations, by John P. Kotter;
* Values Shift: The New Work Ethic and What it Means for Business byJohn B. Izzo and Pam Withers; and
* Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't by Jim Collins.
Hi, Jennifer. I'm the writer of that review of The Chief Engagement Officer. Visit my blog to read the review: http://ronshewchuk.blogs.com/for_your_approval/2008/03/book-review-the.html#comments
Thanks, David, for drawing my attention to this network!
Jennifer, I just read a review of the book today at a another blog. I will mail you the link because when I put it in here it goes right across the page. By all means give it a shot and put it in the forum. I hear it is a bit technical in places and dry but some gems and a good review in the last chapter.

Jennifer,
Welcome!
Your job at Mars sounds great.
Where I work in NYC is across the street from the M&M Store in Times Square! Love that chocolate...

Thanks for visiting C2E.
Not(!) trying to sell you anything when I say my entire focus is on Employee Engagement Cultures. The 3 retreats I offer leadership/management teams are Culture of Engagement, CORE of Engagement, and Manager's Academy (thru the Lens of Engagement).
I'd be happy to kick around thoughts with you. I'm sure I'll learn much.
Plus, I lived in CT and worked in NY/NJ for 20+ years.
Make yourself at home, kick your thoughts into the discussions. We'd love to hear from you.

Hello Jennifer,
I appreciate you joining the network. You name rang a bell and then the Mars company and I remember writing about you in January based on Gallup's article on the many pathways to engagement. I would love to follow up on this at some time if that is okay with you. I am going from memory right now but I believe it was about different cultures of creating engagement within the same organization.

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.
The most important priority for leaders is to cultivate, appreciate, and leverage the vast untapped potential of every employee in their organizations.
If you focus on engagement, productivity will follow. If you focus on productivity, you may not get it.
To begin engagement, sit down with each employee for 40-60 minutes, privately, quietly, and confidentially, and get to know them better -- thei…
I'd appreciate hearing from others on best practices regarding the frequency of employee engagement surveys. I've seen lots of debates on what is the best interval to use for regular measurement and it wouuld help if you could share how often you do…
