Was reading some of your comments and was hoping, with your experiance that you could weigh-in on my questions :
Does is matter where employee engagement lies? Will performance or other benefits of having an engaged employee be affected if an employee is more committed/loyal/engaged to his work than to the organisation in which he works? Who is more likely to get promoted, an employee who is perceived to be engaged to his work or one who is perceived to be engaged to the organisation?
Cartoons. The cartoonist for Today at Work is a good friend of mine who does incredible work. He designed much of this site and excels in both cartoons and web display buttons.
He did the beautiful button for the Employee Engagement Conference in Barcelona!
I believe he would be delighted to customize cartoons for you. He will be joining the network soon. His current fees are very reasonable at about $60 to $75 per cartoon. Fees might be somewhat higher if any extensive customization is required.
If you email me at dzinger@shaw.ca, I will put you in touch with him directly.
Judy,
I am so pleased we are just a few members from 1000 and I also believe we have only just begun. I think this may be a business example of where community trumps organization and I believe the large consulting companies have something to fear in the power of our cooperative if they don't also transform to authentic and caring communities offering great value to their community.

The sest fit for me is either Friday the Third or the 10th at the early slot.0700hrs for you and 1500hrs for me. I start teaching at 1615hrs on both days so we will have sufficient time.
Let me know if there is anything that I need.
Will you use Skype or the phone?
Judy
My timetable tends to erratic apart from the evenings when I teach. Other than that it varies from week to week. If you have a selection of times that would suit you then I am sure that I can slide things around fit in.
Judy
Thank you for your invitation, I would be delighted to help but
I should say that I am not a leader.
I try to help people who aspire to be leaders to understand what their workforce need in order to perform and I have to say that much of the time, they do not need a leader.
What they need is acknowledgement appreciation and support and if the person who gives them that is a leader, then they need a leader.

Hi Judy,
I lived in Regina from 1954 to 1966 then off to Saskatoon. It looks like you had me surrounded. We don't have a specific emotional focus on engagement but I welcome you to either start a forum or a group. If you need some help with that, let me know.

Hi Judy:

Judy,
Welcome to the network. I am pleased you joined and I look forward to your voice and experience on the network. You have some fine videos on your site.

Dear Ray,
Your concern is well founded. Employees look forward to surveys like they do a visit to the dentist! The Horsepower Survey, however, is an employee-focused survey to measure how rewarded employees feel about their work. It consists of sev…
Mike,
I will make mention of this new group in the next newsletter. Thank you for starting this and I wish you well and all European members the best with this focus.

Good points about trust and aligning the strategic engagement with employee engagement. We need results for all.
I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…
As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed."
There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…
This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.
I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…
Hello Paul:
"if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to
tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine."
I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long.

"If managers cannot commit, then they shouldn’t expect their employees to commit either."
Well said and very true. I much enjoyed your article and share your views.
Bob Carpenter's experiences in turnarounds are the same as mine although I only di…

Glad you've joined us.
If you'll forgive the long-time-ago-Language-Arts-teacher-in-me, I'll suggest the addition of "ful" to success in your About Me above.
I'm sensing strong coaching talent from you!
