Many managers see annual performance reviews as nothing more than an empty, bureaucratic exercise forced on them by HR.

So few managers and HR professionals seem to grasp the need to implement specific programs to engage, motivate, and encourage passion among their workforce. Most are so stuck in the 1970s model of authoritarian rule, that it's hard to shift to the new normal of needing to engage your workforce.
The problem is that if most managers and HR professionals don't get it soon, we'll start to see the typical turnover levels increase among the best talent due to an improving job market and declining level of employee satisfaction.

Master these elements to cultivate a happier workplace and greater productivity.
What do you do to foster a positive culture that encourages employee motivation,satisfaction, engagement, and passion?
Do you actually have initiatives, programs, tactics, metrics, and tools to accomplish this "culture improvement", OR is it one of hope based on employees showing up for work everyday.

Above the LawIs a Day of Reckoning on the Horizon for Workplace Bullies?
Do you allow and tolerate workplace bullies? Are you a bully?
Does it make you nervous that you might be on the wrong side of a multi-million dollar lawsuit over this issue? What kind of programs or training do you put in place to prevent workplace bullying?
You see a lot of these programs in place in elementary, middle school, and high school settings, but do we really need to treat our employees like children?
What does it say for your culture when you tolerate bullying?

If there's one topic that continues to persist in the minds and radars of most leaders today, it's the issue of employee engagement.
Why do some many leaders, executive, CEOs, and HR professionals struggle with creating executable programs around engagement?

Many employers believe it's unnecessary to reward employees for a job they are getting paid to do, but what employers need to understand is that materialistic reward systems are not at all the same as recognizing employees ...
This is exactly what I talk about in my speaker program on Employee Motivation and Engagement. You must praise people when the do an exceptional job - when they knock the ball out of the ballpark. Yet, praise - recognition for doing an exception job above and beyond the call of duty - is frequently not mentioned, paraded in front of peers, or given an appropriate round of applause.
And that's a complete turn-off to your best performers. They'll start leaving over time when required praise is not given.

How do I get a truck driver to engage with the business and think about their work differently?” Two mental mistakes. 1/ People ask the question from their perspective, and don’t consider the perspective of the other person (or make wild assumptions about it). 2/ People assume others don’t want the same things they do. Help people see a new perspective.

Guaranteed methods to boost attrition and sap employees' motivation.
I'm not sure why so many companies insist on killing employee motivation, satisaction, engagement, job enjoyment, and passion.
In fact, it's not just the absence of retention/engagement programs as the author mentions in this article, it's the specific things you do that turn people off and make them want to seek opportunities at your competitors.

If you want to improve employee engagement, you must take the first step. (RT @stopthevanilla: RT @stopthevanilla: Employee Engagement - Are Your Employees Emotionally Starving To Death?
Most companies suck at providing specific programs to create a culture for employee engagement. No wonder less than 25% of all employees are dissatisfied with their job. Is any wonder that over 50% of your workforce in any given month goes onto job boards to see if the grass is greener somewhere else.

The Daily Mail reported on new evidence in The Lancet that being bossed around at work could raise the risk of employees having a heart attack by a quarter.
Have you ever been bullied by a boss? Ever feel like you're back in High School being screamed at by your coach. You're too old for this crap! Why do you put up with it? How can CEOs and executives tolerate this behavior? What does it say for your culture and values of the way you treat people?

In my experience of talking with more than 25000 CEOs and Senior Executives over the last 10 years through our workshops, seminars, and presentations on hiring and retention - most companies in the sub-$100 million level don't get retention.
I'd have to say it's probably less than 1% of all companies in this category. A few do it very well and most stink at it. Why is there such a poor adoption of employee recognition and engagement programs?
1. Even though the research overwhelmingly supports things like employee recognition, most CEOs put it at the bottom of their list of HR/Culture initiatives.
2. There is an arrogance coming off this last job market recession that our employees should feel lucky to have a job with us - why worry about things like recognizing them.
3. Most CEOs and Senior Executives are very task oriented and focusing on the people oriented side of their business - things like having empathy for their employees regarding their need for recogition is foreign to them.
4. Managers and Executives are not compensated or measured on their ability to drive employee satisfaction, retention, or engagement. If I don't get compensated on it, I'm not going to spend time on it.
