We’ve all heard the case for employee engagement—higher engagement levels lead to greater employee output, increased productivity and favorable business outcomes. So why do so many leaders treat engagement like just another task on their to-do list? The short answer: historically it’s been difficult to measure and improve engagement real-time.

I’m back to exercising regularly in groups, which means I’m back to hearing about other people’s disordered eating.

And two chicks at Orangetheory were talking about their amazing weight loss results with a Himalayan salt flush.

What is your strategy for lifting revenue or becoming more profitable? Is it all about raising the bottom line , no matter the cost? When companies are laser-focused on financial outcomes , they might overlook more sustainable strategies for maintaining steady growth.

By Lisa Sterling, Chief People Officer, Ceridian. According to research conducted by Gallup, about a quarter of employees worldwide are actively disengaged – and actually outnumber those who are engaged. And the people responsible for managing them are, at least in part, to blame for this disengagement.

The employee in question is a very hardworking, very conscientious employee but she suffers from excessive worry and anxiety. This isn’t my diagnosis — she told me she’s taking advantage of our employee assistance program and getting help with it.

One of HR’s main priorities is to drive employee performance and growth. More often than not, they try to do this with the traditional learning and development resources: conferences, training sessions, webinars, and—oh yes—the infamous job shadowing and cross-training. Although each of these traditional L&D opportunities have their place in growing an individual, it’s unlikely that these once- or twice-a-year activities will impact employees’ engagement, retention, or productivity.
