  1. The year of employee engagement… again!?!?

I don’t think any year is THE year of employee engagement. Successful companies have figured out a way to ensure employee engagement strategies and tactics are “always-on” and not a one-time initiative or reaction to an annual employee engagement survey.

What makes it more challenging is that there is no single silver bullet. There are several drivers of engagement that differ per company, and it’s all about ensuring that gathering insight and reacting is part of the company DNA.

As this is a subject I am very passionate about, I wanted to help offer a practical guide to help companies along this journey.  Check out the 2017 Guide to Measuring and Acting on Employee Engagement that I authoured to learn more.  It will offer considerations about moving forward to a more continuous and real-time engagement and insight approach.

Cheers to 2017, and to engaged employees everywhere.
