1. To All Those Who Attended My Session on “Engaging Today’s Employee”:
A MILLION THANKS! Thank you for being such an energtic and engaging audience.
I sincerely trust that you received an excellent return on your investment (ROI).
During the session I was asked “What is a good book that I would recommend about
employee engagement”? I replied that I did not have one to recommend. However, I
do have the following suggestions for you.
For years I have trained our staff on FISH Philosophy principals: “Be there, Make their
Day, Play and Choose your attitude”. All our new hires are trained in FISH Philosophy
and our Managers in LeaderFISH! LeaderFISH addresses coaching, mentoring,
accountability, etc; but of course I add my own flair to it. The curriculum is good, so the
book would probably be worth reading as well.
During the session I talked about Star 12. Star 12 gives unlimited access to audio
conferences and is a great way to develop staff and managers. They have numerous
topics and you and your entire team can listen together and get some good information.
As I promised during the session, here’s the link: www.nationalseminarstraining.com
So how do you run an employee engagement program on a shoe string budget? I
would recommend your local dollar store and Oriental Trading-
http://www.orientaltrading.com. Both have great deals, certificates, small gifts of
appreciation, etc. I recommend stocking up and putting them in your “employee
engagement toolkit”.
Again, thank you for such an engaging session. Your participation made all the
difference! If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to email me at

Engagingly yours,
Carla Jones
