Taking Stock Exploring Employee Engagement with Work
Employee engagement is golden. That's the key finding of the Towers Perrin Global Workforce survey.

"Engagement," as the company defined it, is the willingness of an employee to go the extra mile to help his or her company succeed.

The survey of 90,000 workers in 18 countries found that companies with the highest level of employee engagement achieve better financial results and are more successful in retaining their most valued employees than companies with lower levels of engagement.

Self Quiz
Are You Playing It Too Safe at Work?
"A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for." --William Shedd

In an uncertain economy, the tendency may be to avoid risk, to err on the side of safety. But lean times are a great time to try new or unproven strategies at work, to go against conventional wisdom, to take calculated risks and to remain open to innovation. Take this Self-Quiz to see whether you could benefit from a little more "danger" on the job.

Go to quiz.


Beyond the Box

 

The following questions are designed to broaden perspectives, to open vistas, to widen the lens. There is no one right way to approach them. You can journal about them, talk to friends, create art, ponder them while driving, work out to them--whatever helps you explore "outside the box."

  1. If you're a business owner/manager, what steps could you take to facilitate your employees' engagement with work?

  2. If you're an employee, where do you fall on the engagement scale? How does your level of engagement cost or benefit your employer?

  3. Do you tend to take risks or avoid them? How has that approach affected your results?

  4. Where might a calculated risk benefit your business or work?
