"Recently, I dropped in on an innovative workspace for one of my software technology clients– it's a very cool office space. An open-plan, communal space with worktables in rows, very low partitions between areas, and no private offices." .... "Here are my top 5 questions which help construct the WHYS of employee engagement for leaders. 1) Why am I here? 2) Why should I trust you leadership? 3) Why should I be loyal to your company? 4) Why don’t you communicate your company values? 5) Why aren’t you clear about the rewards of working in this company?"

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.

How are you and your company building trust equity?
One of the most important elements of employee satisfaction is the level of trust they have with their immediate boss or supervisor. Are you building or destroying trust equity with your team? - Barry Deutsch

Do you want to make your brand resonate with your employees? Most companies start by using their recognition program to reinforce and explain the desired values and behaviors. But if you want to make those values come alive—–go deeper.
Happy employees are more positive in telling their friends about opportunities at your company and in working with customers. Do you have happy employees who are brand ambassadors or sourpuss employees who could care less? - Barry Deutsch

High levels of employee engagement could actually be damaging for organisations if overly simplistic staff surveys mask the type of engagement at play within an organisation (Is the true nature of employee engagement more complex than surveys reveal?
Duh! Top performers are more engaged. This is not an earth-shattering concept. Top performers are more emotionally connected to their employers - again these are well-founded and accepted ideas.
Okay - so if they are so universal as concepts - why do most companies fail to consistently hire and retain these top performers? - Barry Deutsch

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?

Employee engagement is a hot topic at the moment, and there is no shortage of available articles that you can read on the subject, however many are complex discussions from differing viewpoints, and this can lead to confusion for business owners wanting to know more.
To be able to follow the discussions around this important subject, it is important to understand the basic framework of employee engagement models, and reference back to these as you read more and develop a greater understanding.
This excellent short video, provides such a framework, and it gives a great overview of a way in which you can determine where your employees sit in terms of their level of engagement with their roles.

I just came across this post in Baseline that states: More Workers Don’t Care About Work . I found this appalling. When so much of our lives are tied up into something – how can someone not care about it?
Another survey talking about declining employee motivation, morale, and engagement. As productivity plunges in most companies, when will the pain become so great that CEOs wake up and start to implement programs to raise employee satisfaction, morale, engagement, and passion? - Barry Deutsch

This is a good example of how a company policy that might have worked at one stage of the company's growth, not longer is appropriate. It's an example of a policy that forces outcomes based on how employees compete with each other, not one that encourages a culture of risk taking, innovation, and new ideas - which pretty much spells decline or death in the technology space. How can bright executives allow this to happen to their company? - Barry Deutsch

Employee engagement is not a strategy, an organizational competence, a morale booster, and so much more. What is it then? (Employee Engagement Strategy - Inconceivable!
Unknown said...I'm not sure I agree with the author's claim that employee engagement cannot be a strategy. By itself, I do agree employee morale, engagement, motivation, and satisfaction must come from the employee.
However, employers can create cultures or environments that encourage or discourage satisfaction, morale, motivation, and engagement.
Employers can implement a strategy that encourages employees to take ownership, be engaged, be motivated, passionate, and satisfied with their job. Employers can also create strategies (or accomplish the same thing through neglect) that turn off their workforce.
Without strategies, tactics, goals, measurement, and plans - the engagement of the workforce becomes random and arbitrary - more a function of luck than an organized effort. - Barry Deutsch
