Myths regarding employee engagement

- I got a call last week from a CEO…who said, "Roberta, I need you to come in here…"and engage my people."…I took a deep breath and said,…"Doug, employee engagement isn't something…"you do to your people.…"It's a state of being that people get to…"when they feel valued at work."…I get calls like that one all the time.…Leaders mistakenly believe employee engagement…is something you do to people.…If only life were that simple.…The first myth that needs busting…is that employee engagement programs by themselves…move the needle on employee engagement.…

That's not really how it works.…It's committed and caring leaders like you…that make the difference in terms of engagement.…People work for people, not for companies.…Employee engagement is about relationships.…Another myth that drives me crazy…is there's only so much we can do.…That misconception is the result…of companies doing the same things over and over…without much in terms of results.…If your employee engagement program is falling flat,…have an open conversation with your people…
