Hi Donna,
I believe there are very strong links between appreciation, recognition, and engagement. I am working on some of this during the summer. I will email you a poem I did on this topic.

Hello David- just discovered you on twitter. You have some interesting insights on employee engagement. I enjoy reading your posts. We are in the recognition business and we understand the value of an engaged employee. We believe recognition is key. Do you have articles/research that I can post on our blog or RT on twitter re: employee engagement as it relates to recognition or lack thereof? Always looking for new resources.

Thanks, Donna

Thanks Lance.
I am glad something caught for you in the poem. It was based on a specific individual I knew years ago. I love the Jungle of Life I share some mutual admiration for your work.

Hi David,
Love the poem! It’s so telling as to living in the now. And something about this poem really drives that point home – well said!
