How to explain employee engagement
Top-performing organizations understand that employee engagement is a force that drives performance outcomes. In the best organizations, engagement is more than a human resources initiative – it is a strategic foundation for the way they do business.
But it is apparently still a topic that employers and employees alike think they understand, yet can’t articulate very easily:

Engaged employees are more productive, more profitable, more customer-focused, safer, and more likely to withstand temptations to leave. The best-performing companies know that an employee engagement improvement strategy linked to the achievement of corporate goals will help them win in the marketplace. But if managers want to build high-performing organizations, they need to address culture change.
Successful measurement systems – systems that energize and actually do what they’re supposed to do, which is boost performance – is often hard to find. Do a little performance measurement of your own: Assess it against this checklist.
High performance and success are not dependent on one simple factor or as a result of one or two things. The entire context you operate in greatly impacts your results.

Humor is an important aspect in people management. Unfortunately some managers don’t seem to realize this. They tend to take just about everything a wee bit too serious. Are they educated like that or is there another reason (if any) behind this behavior; are they losing their sensitivity about what is funny and what not?
There is yet enough sadness around in the world. We will not become more happy in the year 2011 by listening to messages containing too few progress.
Standing still is going back.
