- About Me: (Please let us know about you and also add a picture to your profile).
- My career(s) have been varied but continuously about people. I have had the opportunity to create, change, manage and lead organizations and also work in teaching and training venues. With each career there has been an emphasis on identifying skillsand/or encouraging skill development, attaining positive personal and organizational goals, and most of all, initiating change. Specifically, the careers have been in corrections, higher education, human resources, private sector (manufacturing) management.
- What is your involvement in employee engagement?
- My current employment is as an HR Officer with a government agency struggling with bringing 4 previously free standing agencies into one. My position is responsible for bringing about consistant HR practices throughout the agency and in so doing creating greater employee engagement in a non trusting environment.

Welcome. The challenge of integrating multiple units into one and raising employee engagement is a tall one. Especially where trust is low.
To piggyback on Mike's suggestion, why not join the Manager Tools group and post your question there?

Put your question into one of the forums to get as many views as possible
Sounds like you have a difficult task on your hands.
I think it might be useful if you make a statement of some kind as to what your role is. You might like to remind people that you realise it is a challenge but you are looking for ideas and support to make things work. This helps you lay down your marker and stop any questions as to who you are and why you are there.
After that i think it wil be important that you have face to face discussions with those who may resent or distrust you( the organisation) for some reason. I promise you they will have their reasons but they will play their cards close to their chest because they may have had their fingers burned in the past.
Once you get on a personal level then you can ask them how they would fix the situation if it was them in charge.
I think these first steps will go some way to helping you on your journey. Th longest journey starts with but a single step but be prepared for some stumbles and falls along the way.
Will be interesting tio hear your progress on your latest challenge

And the 4 shall be as one -- good luck, good effort, and good engagement with this. Welcome to the network from your Winnipeg neighbour to the north. It is such a huge challenge to create engagement when there is a lack of trust. Mutual respect and mutual purpose can help to sow the seeds of trust.
I encourage you to both ask for what you need from the network and to engage in conversations that are meaningful to you.
