otherwise engaged

Melcrum have done a survey on employee engagement and guess what comes up as the two most important drivers? Compensation? Recognition? Training? Strategic Direction?

All good guesses but it's a little more simple than that. Your boss. And their boss.

In smaller organisations, senior management are really, really important (perhaps because their impact is felt more directly). In large organisations they are on a par with direct supervisors in terms of their influence. But either way, if you want your people caring it starts with you.

Which kinda supports the previous post really.

So if you are a boss, are you using your employee engagement superpowers for good or evil? The NY Times (via Bob Sutton) has a round-up of some self-assessment quizzes.
