'Are we creating iatrogenic disengagement? (Reading time 1 minute, 20 seconds). Employee engagement may threaten the established ways of working when we fully engage employees and stop stifling voice, identity, and innovation. I believe the fresher ways of working produce both fear and threat for many leaders and managers. I think conducting anonymous surveys suggest that engagement is seen as a threat in the organization.

'The world of work is an interesting place. We focus on "our careers" and "our skill set" and "our development" and "our potential."

It was a great event, as always with TENEO, though I felt we''d failed to really get to grips with the big issues on performance management ie there were quite a few sessions from companies which were in the process of transforming performance management, and a couple from some which were thinking of doing so, but no real evidence of a completely successful change.

A database of more than 500 million criminal records sounds mighty impressive, doesn’t it? It’s sure to have everything you need to know about your candidates, right? Not exactly.
