My friends are bad with computers. It’s interesting because they are the earliest adopters of social media and blogging. They’re not just early adopters in the human resources industry. They’re among the earliest adopters in the world. But they just don’t do computers. That’s fine. Leave the infrastructure stuff to the experts.

It’s official. Employee engagement is the new black. I’ve been writing and thinking a lot about it lately, as have others. The very notion of how leaders and employees engage has slowly morphed away from ‘companies have to do this because employees want it’ to ‘companies have to do this even though employees don’t trust it 100 percent’. I’m not saying employees don’t seek engagement; I’m simply saying many have reasons to doubt corporate engagement programs as they stand today.

What’s the cause of this supply and demand disparity?

The desire for approval and validation is a central theme of human existence. Under the right leadership, this desire can become a motivating factor for high-performance and consistent growth. On the other hand, when employees don’t feel like valued members of a team, they may become disengaged and eventually seek employment elsewhere. Even when the pressure is on, the most effective leaders know how to make their employees feel valued and respected while inspiring them to do their best work.
