The fundamental elements of employee engagement programming do not change by year. This is foundational stuff for your future business success, and a consistent approach that employees can come to rely on and trust is critical. But the start of a new year, with its mental resets, clean slates and Spring cleanings, gives you a chance to assess how your engagement efforts are working, and to get input from your employees about how to spiff them up. How does your workplace shape up? Click through for some questions to ask yourself.

Leadership development should not be reserved for the elite executive core. By then it is too late to start "developing" leadership skills. Too many excellent candidates will have been lost if you leave frontline and middle managers to their own devices to figure out how to lead effectively. Indeed, it is more important to invest in new manager leadership training than executive leadership training, and far more cost-effective, too! You can make a big impact on productivity with an investment as low as $15,000 per person.

The ROI of employee training and development, especially in the transformation of middle managers into effective leaders, is not hard to explain to the CFO.

Monday is Labor Day in the United States. It is a day to honor the contributions of workers in all walks of industry and service, although its origins are embedded in the formation of manufacturing workers’ unions of the 1800s.
There is a tremendous amount of contribution inherent in all of the people who go to work every day, and organizations that adopt the mindset of “celebrating that contribution” every day through strong recognition and human development program outperform their competition. Employee engagement is the key that unlocks all that latent contribution. Tags: Bovo-Tighe, employee contribution, Employee engagement, Labor Day, rewards and recognition, workplace productivity

We found a great thought-provoker about leadership styles and habits on InsideCRM.com. This checklist isn’t perfect, of course, even with over 100 factors to keep top-of-mind. So, we thought we could make it more useful with a few critiques. I am sure you can find other corrections to make as well based on your own leadership experiences.

This McKinsey & Co. interview* with Duke University Professor Dan Ariely explores how subjectivity influences our decision-making process, and argues that totally rational behavior (defined as acting universally in one’s own best interest) can put the actor at a disadvantage.

Performance Management fails in its attempts to raise productivity, retain talent and rewards results. It becomes a burden on an organization and seems to demoralize or at least demotivate employees.
This is sad, because performance reviews and recognition programs should be a vehicle of employee engagement and generate a boost to productivity. Why does it instead induce fear and uncertainty?

Research by a Harvard Business School professors discovers that employees are motivated more strongly to be productive if they realize they are worse than most of their peers. They are anxious to avoid being viewed as worse performers than their peers or, if you will, the first in line to be let go. So, public ranking of performance has its uses, if handled delicately.
