Think Small.  Small Things Make A Big Difference in Employee Engagement - Forbes | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it

The single most important factor in employee engagement is an employee's relationship with his or her direct manager.

 

Return messages quickly - Be on time for meetings - Express appreciation for a job well done - Take a genuine interest in your employees - Be there

 

"I agree with this statement - in my travels of executive search for 25 years and leading workshops for retention and top performers to over 40,000 CEOs and executives - the direct relationship between supervisor and subordinate is the most important element of employee satisfaction. Yet, many companies ignore this issue for training, development, reward and recognition programs - Barry"

Preventing the Loss of Key Talent

Preventing the Loss of Key Talent | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it
Should companies return to their pre-recession approach to talent management or significantly change the way they manage talent? It is definitely not time to go back to business as usual.


In this article by Edward Lawler on the Forbes website, he blasts human resources for not being flexible enough to manage talent in a changing environment. Unfortunately, he doesn't specifically identify what human resources is doing wrong, nor does he describe in depth what human resources should be differently - expect for the generic concept of being more "flexible".


What are your thoughts on this article? Is it clear that he's identified a core issue in hr management, or has the article missed by being too generic?

5 Ways Young Professionals Want to Be Led - Forbes

5 Ways Young Professionals Want to Be Led - Forbes | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it
Recently, my organization facilitated a roundtable session with fifteen young professionals. Their main concern was how to advance in a multi-generational workplace. Several of these young professionals felt that they didn’t belong or fit in their workplace; they were uncertain about who to trust and didn’t respect the manner in which they were being led. These young professionals were eager to learn the best ways their generation could take control, influence their workplace culture and start performing at the highest levels. They wanted to get noticed, create impact and at the same time discover how to start generating more income and accelerate their advancement.

This three hour roundtable was intense, but we successfully identified what these young professionals were really looking for: how to most effectively teach their baby boomer bosses how they seek to be led. As one young professional said, “if my boss understands how I am wired to work, I will not only teach the organization’s old guard how to lead my generation, but my performance will help contribute to the organization’s success. I will make them more relevant.” This confident perspective changed the conversation and helped to define the following top five ways young professionals want to be led by their baby boomer bosses.

 

1. Empower us; don’t micromanage our talent

 

2. Sponsor us; serve as role models

 

3. Allow us to manage our own brand; don’t define us

 

4. Trust us; don’t question our intentions

 

5. Challenge us; don’t marginalize us

5 Reasons why Employee Engagement fails

5 Reasons why Employee Engagement fails | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it

Engagement is not just a buzzword in corporate world alone, it’s everywhere; engage your customers in the business world, readers and viewers in the media world.

 

Engaging a community has become far more obvious with the emergence of social media tools like Facebook and twitter and with people effectively utilizing it. People are connected with a click of a button however distant they might be.

 

But why are we not able to connect or engage our own employees who we interact with everyday?

This is a facsinating article looking at engagement through a neuro-science lens.  

 

As well as being in the employee engagement profession I am also an avid reader of the new scientist and a Neuro Linguistic Programming master practitoner so exploring engagement from this perspective made it a brilliant for me.  It takes further steps forward in explaining the 'why'' of employee engagement.   If you are interested in getting under the skin of this topic then this is a great place to start. 

 

Well worth a read.
