This month, our Employee Engagement Briefings have highlighted 40 employee engagement-related articles. Here is a recap of the must-read articles of January 2017.
The Latest Employee Engagement Evidence
allthingsIC: “How do you measure employee engagement? If your 2017 plans include increasing your knowledge of employee engagement and finding examples of who’s doing what, you’re in the right place.”
The Employee Experience Is The Future Of Work: 10 HR Trends For 2017
Forbes: “Now, as we enter 2017, the next journey for HR leaders will be to apply a consumer and a digital lens to the HR function creating an employee experience that mirrors their best customer experience.”
How Middle Managers Can Boost Employee Engagement And Customer Experience
Forbes: “[W]hat holds back many organisations efforts to improve their employee engagement? Well, according to Gallup, 70% percent of the variance between top quartile and bottom quartile performing companies, in terms of employee engagement, can be explained by the quality of that organisation’s managers. So, what should firms do? Should they be investing more in their front-line and middle managers?”
Why Organizations Get The Employee Engagement They Deserve
Forbes: “Organizations get the employee engagement they deserve because they prompt it. Purpose-driven organizations that let employees co-create the path forward get employees committed to the cause. Those that invite their employees to contribute are more likely to get those contributions. Organizations with a command and control way of operating get mostly compliant employees. And organizations that continually re-organize and do not give their employees clear direction should not be surprised if their engagement scores are low.”
