Employee engagement ideas and best practicesMutual Force
Employee engagement is more than perks and surveys; it requires leadership development and facilitating employee commitment, passion, and well-being. Current engagement programs rely on outdated surveys and rewards that fail to create real change or understand engagement's impact. Leadership development is key, but managers are often not suited or trained to facilitate engagement. Skilled managers set clear expectations, provide tools for success, and recognize employees. When properly developed and integrated into all business areas using quality technology infrastructure, engagement programs boost performance, retention and growth.

This document discusses employee engagement and provides context around key concepts. Employee engagement refers to an employee's commitment and involvement in their organization and its values. Engaged employees are aware of the business context and work with colleagues to improve performance for the benefit of the organization. The document reviews literature around elements that contribute to engagement, such as meaningful work, clear direction, accountability, and interpersonal trust and cooperation. It also discusses tools for measuring engagement and how organizations can utilize engagement data for needs analysis, evaluation of interventions, climate surveys, and feedback to leaders and departments.
Effective business communication is critical for companies to reach their organizational goals and improve performance. There are several types of business communication, including internal upward, internal downward, internal lateral, and external communication. When done effectively, business communication can improve employee engagement, eliminate communication silos, increase productivity, improve interdepartmental collaboration, reduce employee turnover, increase employee advocacy, improve knowledge sharing, build a better company culture, and enhance customer satisfaction and retention. Overall, proper business communication strategies are essential for companies to operate successfully.
This document summarizes a research paper on measuring the impact of effective onboarding practices. It discusses several key measures for determining onboarding effectiveness, including employee feedback through surveys and interviews, retention rates and reductions in turnover, and time to proficiency for new hires. Additional lesser-used measures mentioned include HR efficiency, pre- and post-onboarding videos or tests, emoticon surveys, and positive employment differentiation. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of continuously gathering data on these various measures to evaluate and improve onboarding practices over time.
Here are some key strategies and tactics that communication leaders can use to engage employees during lockdowns or periods where employees are working remotely like MCO:
- Frequent and transparent communication from leadership. Leaders should communicate regularly via video messages to update employees on business impacts and priorities. This provides clarity and reassurance.
- Virtual town halls and all-staff meetings. Using video conferencing platforms, leaders can host regular virtual meetings to engage the entire organization at once and allow for Q&A.
- Increased digital communication. Leverage intranet, email, IM and collaboration tools more heavily to share updates and encourage discussions between remote employees.
- Virtual social and team-building activities. Organize online games, trivia,
Lack of clarity, skills, limiting behaviors, and information are the main factors that hinder achieving goals. Traditional performance management systems are outdated and do not motivate employees. A new system needs continuous feedback, goal tracking, and collaboration to engage employees. Data-driven performance management using analytics can provide insights to improve performance and competitive advantage.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

employees' dedication and enthusiasm towards their jobs, can
help organizations effectively manage their workforce.
However, there exists a huge gap between grasping the
concept and putting it into practice at the grassroots level.
Here are the 5 best practices for modern organizations to
create a super-engaged workforce.
3. Simplifying internal communication channels can be the
first step towards creating workforce engagement
strategies. Enabling employees to access key company
news and announcements, project updates, and event
highlights helps them align with the company's goals and
future endeavors. Effective communication also bridges
the gap between employee-employee and employee-
management interaction, eventually contributing to
improved collaboration and decision-making.
1.Facilitating uninterrupted internal communication :
4. When recognized and appreciated at the workplace,
employees are more likely to display dedication and
commitment towards their job role. Simply sending
wishes to the employees on birthdays and work
anniversaries, appreciating their performance, and
celebrating milestones together can help enhance
engagement levels across the organization.
2. Leveraging employee recognition tactics :
5. The onboarding process marks the first interaction for a
newly hired employee within the organization. Streamlining
standard forms, automating documentation, and simplifying
internal communication can help them smoothly complete
the onboarding process. Also, offering them access to co-
workers' profiles and key knowledge resources can help
them understand their role and integrate faster with
organization.
3. Streamlining employee onboarding :
6. Conducting surveys within the organization is a time-tested
method for collective decision-making and employee
participation. Regular surveys and feedback enable
organizations to identify concerns and take proactive
measures for employees, contributing to enhanced
workplace experience. Empowering employees to contribute
to surveys helps improve communication, build trust, and
strengthen communication, which is necessary to drive
engagement, productivity, and retention.
4. Conducting regular surveys and feedback:
7. Employees' interaction with workplace technology also
plays a crucial role in deciding their levels of engagement.
The right digital platform enhances communication and
collaboration within the organization and offers employees
adequate productivity tools to manage their tasks,
documents, events, and more all in one place—all leading to
lesser burnout, elimination of errors, and increased
efficiency. Choosing the right platform definitely serves as a
catalyst to maximize your workforce's engagement.
5. Empowering employees with updated tools:
8. Overall, employee engagement practices aim to place
employees at the center of the organizational framework to
create a workforce committed to the organizational goals
and values. However, empowering employees with a robust
communication and collaboration platform, along with
implementing strategies to enrich employees' workplace
experience, can help cultivate a culture of transparency,
belonging, and collective advancement.
