If you’ve ever spent Sunday brunch alone at a cafe, you’ve probably overheard a book club nearby passionately exchanging opinions about the “5 Love Languages.” Written by Gary Chapmen, The 5 Love Languages emerged this time of year in 2009, which might explain why it’s popping back up on my radar!

'Employee engagement involves both push and pull. The push part of engagement is our effort, focus, concentration, and contribution to a specific element or block of engagement. The pull part of engagement is how an element or block engages us or pulls us towards it. For example, I take 10 minutes to recognize a few people I work with. I am engaging or pushing towards the recognition block of the pyramid of engagement.

It’s no secret: positive reinforcement sparks positive results. Just ask the guy who did the famous rice experiment. The rice labeled “thank you” thrives, while the rice labeled “you fool” rots. Science! The same goes for humans, except instead of “rotting” like the rice, negative recognition cuts deeply at a person’s self-esteem.

In case you’re not familiar with it, stacked ranking is essentially the practice of ranking employees along a bell curve. Some employers use the rankings to openly compare workers’ performance (primarily as a way to motive those at the lower end of the curve to do better), while others actually use the rankings to f

I talk with groups frequently about the use of social media tools to help drive qualified candidates to their open positions. While I believe strongly in those efforts, the fact remains that job boards still account for a significant amount of applicant traffic for most organizations. Naturally, then, clients typically want to know where they should post jobs and how to keep track of them.

Employee recognition is easy. It means paying attention to the good stuff and calling it out. It’s as simple as an authentic “Thank you,” or an employee-run rewards system. Because of it, employees feel seen, valued, and proud. But to stressed higher-ups, employee recognition can seem like another grueling task to maintain. With a heavy workload, inspiration falls way, way down to the “I’ll-get-to-it-later” pile.
