Employee Engagement is the new black. You can’t swing a disgruntled worker without hitting another report citing percentages of employees who are disengaged, disconnected, actively negative, passively waiting, engaged, enchanted, empowered and feeling the luv.
Engagement is IT baby – get busy engaging or get busy dying.
My Engagement Beliefs
- I believe in engagement. I believe there are multiple paths to engagement. I believe that employ
ees are happier, more productive and more likely to help the corporation when they are engaged.
- I believe that employees need to find meaning in their work, be validated (a better word than recognized me thinks), be informed, be paid, have a personal alignment with the mission/values of the organization.
