When exactly did employee engagement programs work? The employee satisfaction survey began in 1920, over a hundred years ago. The needle has stayed the same since then despite the exponential growth of EE/EX tools and the ubiquitous EE/EX experts and billions invested. Yet, no one has described how EE/EX was transformed, what process was used, how long it took, how the results were measured, and whether they were sustainable. Sadly, talking about EE/EX has been conflated with solving EE/EX. There's no shortage of opinions, that's for sure. Results, not so much.
A lot of companies have actually made tremendous strides with their employee engagement efforts over the years. Especially those who focused on the changes to the core workplaces. Microsoft, Accenture, Adobe, American Express, are a few that come to mind. I've worked with all of them in some capacity. But I agree, broadly speaking there needs to be much more done here in terms of showing results. I did my best to show what I could in my book.

Audio levels are off so when using headphones you need to turn up and down.
Thanks for the feedback!
Really interesting stuff! I love the comparison to online dating. Without an engaged team behind your business, you're going to really struggle!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed.
Thanks
