I have described employee research as the "Listening" side of Communication. And, at Hewitt, our official title in this practice area was "Listeners" - I was the Listening Leader in Canada. It made for good conversation as people would always ask what the title of Listener meant. There is a wonderful print by James C. Christenson titled "The Listener" that I love - my only wish is that the central figure was a woman. This URL will take you to a page where you can see the print. http://www.greenwichworkshop.com/details/default.asp?p=2378&a=16&t=4&page=3&detailtype=artist I love that Listening is being targeted as key to employee engagement.
