How Senior Leadership Engage/Disengage in NonprofitsTalentMap
Many Nonprofits eagerly measure employee engagement only to discover that the most important determinant of employee engagement is staff’s perception of the senior leadership team. How do you tell colleagues that “we’re the problem”, and more importantly, how do you address and change leadership behaviours?
Four Elements of Effective Performance ManagementShelly Myers
When you hear the word performance, do you immediately think of paperwork and stress? An extensive study from Adobe found that 72% of office workers and 88% of managers found preparing for performance reviews too time-consuming.

How to Create a Culture That Fosters Employee Engagement | Webinar BizLibrary
Zombies are the walking dead. Disengaged employees are dead productivity-wise. Both are contagious and pose a risk to those among them. Additionally, disengaged employees cost organizations a lot of money. The frightening facts:
70% of employees are disengaged and actively disengaged.
Nearly 1/3 of employees think their managers fail to effectively communicate goals.
40% of employees say they don't receive regular, clear feedback on their performance from their manager.
(Sources: Gallup and Tower Perrins)
So, how can we overcome the walking dead and create a culture that fosters engagement. The cure? Your managers. In this webinar we'll discuss how to develop your managers and improve your organizational culture.
Reassuring the employee engagement skeptics:
“back pocket” answers to respond and address concerns about your survey initiative
You are convinced of the need to measure and manage employee engagement in your organization. You’ve seen the benefits of higher morale, higher productivity, higher retention, and all the rest. Unfortunately, you’re also met with “the skeptics”: those people in your organization who are just not convinced the same way you are:
“Engagement surveys are so yesterday. We need a more novel approach”
“Engagement surveys are not really confidential”
“Engagement surveys don’t change anything. Nothing ever happens”
In this webinar, Norm Baillie-David, will provide you with experience and keen insight into what the real insecurities are when people put forward these and other objections. Better yet, this webinar will arm you with evidence and facts from decades of research in order to address these issues and convince “the skeptics” in your organization of the benefits of actively measuring and managing employee engagement.

Managers sometimes fear that asking their employees about the work environment may be opening a can of worms. What they forget is that worms thrive in dark moist environments. By bringing to light what most employees know anyway, you can demonstrate your willingness to invite real conversations that bring in the voices of everyone who works for you. In this presentation, National Research Center, Inc (NRC) illuminates the ins-and-outs of employee surveys. Learn from city managers about what their jurisdictions have done with their employee surveys—the lead-up, execution, and follow-up—that helped to set the organization on the right track.
The hundreds of employee engagement surveys that we conduct every year is showing an interesting, albeit concerning trend: highly engaged organizations often have emerging employee issues and concerns around decreasing work-life balance. On the one hand, this is a form of “collateral damage”. Highly engaged employees, by definition, tend to give more of themselves, and sometimes work-life balance suffers as a result – through the employee’s own engaged behaviours. Because work-life balance has little influence on engagement per se, it (too) often gets lower priority: however, this approach is fraught with danger. Highly engaged and high performing organizations can fall into the work-life balance “cultural trap”.

Turning Performance Feedback Into Positive Employee EngagementTalentMap
Performance feedback is one of those “sleeper” issues in employee engagement. Get it right, and often it isn’t one of the more important drivers of engagement, because other issues become more salient. Get it wrong, and it can prove to be a key obstacle to higher engagement. However, there is mounting research and practice that’s turning performance feedback and management on its head, which includes revamping appraisal processes, and moving to “career management” as opposed to “performance management”.
The $687B Question: Is Employee Engagement the Driver of Business Success?Human Capital Media
There’s been a lot of buzz about employee engagement in the workplace and for good reason. Today’s organizations face changing working patterns, evolving employee expectations and growing complexity — all of which pose significant challenges for keeping people engaged and motivated on the job. With so much at stake, are executives and HR professionals focusing adequate attention on employee engagement? What impact are prevailing tools, approaches and practices having on workforce productivity? And how do all these factors affect overall performance and, ultimately, the bottom line?
Ian Parkes, director of Coleman Parkes Research, and Joyce Maroney, director of the Workforce Institute at Kronos, will address eye-opening research that sheds new light on the challenges, opportunities and costs of employee engagement — or lack thereof — at today’s organizations. They’ll discuss key findings, highlight areas for improvement and explain the roles leadership, technology and talent management play in optimizing workforce engagement for sustained competitive advantage. You’ll gain valuable insights into:
The increasing complexity of working life and the impact on employee engagement.
The high opportunity cost of time wasted on non-job-related administrative tasks.
How the role of HR needs to change in order to build a culture of engagement.
Ways outdated technology is hindering employee productivity and engagement.
Why the inability to recruit and retain skilled talent is a core business disruptor.
Key drivers of engagement and how your organization can unburden the workforce.

The Importance of Performance Appraisals One-panel comic of .docxMARRY7
The Importance of Performance Appraisals
One-panel comic of a woman reading to her daughter before bed. The girl says to her mother, "I think the Little Engine was probably worried about his performance reviews."
Throughout your life, people will make life-changing evaluations of your performance. From elementary school through college, on the playing field and in your community, from your first part-time job to your adult career, others will give you tests and evaluate and compare your performance, the results of which will determine your advancement (or failure to advance) to the next phase of life.
Within organizations, assessment of employees' performance tends to be perceived as a necessary evil that neither managers nor staff particularly like. Many employees fear that even one low performance rating could affect their pay or damage their career. Even more frightening is the prospect of receiving low ratings from a manager who doesn't ever directly observe or work with the employee but uses secondhand information or personal biases to make his or her evaluations. Sadly, this frequently happens.
Consider This: How Do You Feel About Being Evaluated?
•Think about one or more occasions in which you were being evaluated. It could be at work, school, a playing field, or elsewhere.
•Describe your feelings and thoughts before receiving these evaluations. Were you anxious? Were you looking forward to the evaluations?
•Describe your feelings and thoughts while receiving these evaluations. Were you surprised? Upbeat? Interested in receiving feedback? Actively involved? Passively receiving the information? Feeling under attack?
•Describe your feelings and thoughts immediately after these evaluations. Were you excited? Flattered? Humiliated? Angry? Defensive?
•What effects did these evaluations have on your personal, social, or professional life? Did they make you a better person in any way? Explain.
Managers also suffer anxiety when completing performance appraisals. Most often, they worry that criticisms, no matter how small, might provoke negative reactions, ranging from disappointment and frustration to anger and hostility. These emotions can put strain on the manager-employee relationship or cause the employee to become less motivated or even to quit. As a result, managers tend to shy away from providing negative performance feedback, which of course negates accuracy.
Consider This: How Do You Feel About Evaluating Others?
•Think about one or more occasions in which you had to evaluate or give feedback to someone. Again, it can be at work, school, or a playing field. Personal and social settings can also be used for this exercise.
•Describe your feelings and thoughts before you gave your evaluation or feedback. Were you anxious? Hesitant? Excited?
•What were your primary concerns? The fairness of your evaluations? The reactions of the people you were evaluating? The repercussions of your evaluation for yourself and/or the person you ...

Robert Kaplan of Harvard University clearly states: “If you can’t measure it you can’t manage it, and if you can’t manage it you can’t change it.” A simple translation of this sentence is: in order to improve something it needs to be measurable. The intangibles of Leadership, Communication and Teamwork are key organizational drivers that are not frequently measured. According to the previous theory, that means that these fundamental building blocks of your organization are not being managed or improved.
