I found the best information today from “A Great Place to Work.” The company states that “trust” is the essential ingredient for workplace relationships between employee and employer. Makes sense!

This is a take from the old saying that “people retire ON the job”, instead of “from the job.” Similarly, there is a great book titled, “I Quit… But Forgot to Tell You!”, by Terri Kabachnick.
The book is about disengaged workers and it outlines the cost to U.S companies… excess of $250 billion in 2002 numbers. Can anyone begin to guess what disengagement costs today?!
According to Kabachnick’s research: Continue reading ‘Did Your Employees Quit and Forget to Tell You?’ »
Employee engagement starts at the top of the company. The company executives set the tone for an engaged workforce. Likewise, disengagement can be tracked back to company executives.

Yesterday we looked at Sam Parker’s terms for two categories of disengaged workers:
1. D- Grunts: disgruntled people
2. Gomos: people who go through the motions
I enjoyed the wisdom in his characterizations and hope you did too!
Today, let’s look at some additional characterizations from Mr. Parker: Continue reading ‘More Insight on Employee Engagement (or not)’ »
Most organizational studies report that a great number of employees are not fully engaged in their work. The Gallup organization has reported that 71 of 100 people are not fully engaged with their work and that 17 of this 71 are actually “actively disengaged”. These 17 actually work to make things worse. Oh my!
There are two groups of disengaged employees and I love the names that have been chosen by Sam Parker. He calls them:
- D-Grunts- disgruntled people
- Gomos- people who go through the motions Continue reading ‘The Bottom of the Barrel of Dis-Engaged Employees’ »
Corporate culture will be very important as we move out of the worst recession most of us have ever experienced. In all likelihood, the financial recovery will be slow… at best.
Employees and consumers (they are one in the same, in most cases) are going to want to work for companies and buy from companies who have a strong Corporate Social Responsibility.
Employees state that layoffs, reduced benefit packages, as well as reduced or stagnant compensation have all contributed to a heightened feeling of disengagement. What are some things a pro-active company can do to address this critical component of disengagement as the economy recovers? Continue reading ‘Post-Recession: Is Your Company Ready?’ »

We hear a lot about entrepreneurship, but how much have you heard about intrapreneurship? Probably not much since even “spell check” did not recognize the word and wanted to change it to entrepreneurship!
Intrapreneurship is about employees within organizations taking the initiative to undertake new ventures and… without being asked to do so. Intrapreneurship increases exponentially as it relates to employee engagement. This is also known as innovation from within.
What are the outward signs of intrapreneurship? Continue reading ‘Where Is Your Internal Initiative? –aka Intrapreneurship?’ »

Corporate Social Responsibility- CSR – is really about Corporate America self-regulating. Most industries have state and federal regulations with which to comply. There are also industry standards that must be kept in check.
But the socially responsible company has practices in place that go above and beyond what is required from a regulatory standpoint. Words such as “ethical” and “integrity” will be found in the mission statement as well as in the company’s vision statement of a socially responsible corporation.
