Employee Engagement

Culture is more than the behavior of the individual. It depends on the interaction of people - in pairs, small groups and through the entire organization. 

Talent management is a two-way street. A savvy organization wants to identify and keep the people who will be high performers and make a difference.  High performing employees work for the challenge, the personal development, and the “stretch assignment”.  Both parties can win at this game...

...or lose.  What would it be like if employees told the truth?  Click here for a very cynical (if funny) scene from Office Space.

Employees who are more engaged are less likely to leave when things get tough. Their persistence translates into positive effects on the bottom line. Today’s workforce, particularly high performers, want their work to resonate with their core self, their reason for being.  Imagine the increased contribution from a passionate staff whose roles are aligned to their core interests and capabilities, engaged to contribute their full measure.  It forms the infrastructure of the organization’s culture. Its strength is the organization’s strength. 

This - the impact of passionate people doing good work - is the reason I'm so passionate about increasing the standards in hiring, in using applicant tracking and assessment software, and in implementing good talent management tactics. Care to join?
