Engagement over at Management Issues- and a reminder
Posted on 21. Jan, 2008 by Wayne in General
If you heard my conversation with David Zinger, you know that I’m already smelling the trend for 2008 is Engagement. We know it’s important- and heck I’m as guilty as anyone else about using the word.
I think you might like this article I just posted over at Management Issues about engagement between employers and employees and how much it’s like…well, an engagement.
And if long-distance relationships are tough, you have to communicate which leads me to remind you about our Webinar on the Evening of January 29th in the US, AFternoon of January 30 in Australia: Managing Remote Employees- Using Web Meetings to Keep Them Engaged. Drop me a line if you want to participate. The last one was a lot of fun… meet other CMM listeners from around the world and learn 4 tips for keeping your webmeetings less painful for everyone.
I think that engagement is a good theme for the year of the rat. In my opinion, having employees to really “engage†in their jobs and really dwell on it will make a sturdier company. I would definitely prefer engaged colleagues than stagnant and careless ones.
