The Stairway to Heaven Stalled

A big thank you to Steve Hargadon for posting this video. I encourage you to watch this very short video and think about employee engagement in the workplace. 

I did not appreciate that it is called government workers at the You Tube site - as I know many people within the various levels of government that are fully engaged in their work, but I think the principle applies to people within a variety of life and workplace settings.

I believe this is a humorous example of learned helplessness that contributes to disengagement.

    EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT enriches everyone in the workplace. It is not sucking out more discretionary effort from employees.

    Authentic employee engagement must function for the benefit of all: employees, leaders, organizations, and customers.

    Employees have higher levels of satisfaction and contribution. Leaders are connected with employees and engaged themselves. The organization is functioning the way it should and customers are receiving the service they deserve.

    Ultimately everyone is getting results that matter to them.

    When this occurs, employee engagement transforms into a more powerful force --- workplace engagement.
