Welcome to Adventures in Employee Engagement!

The goal of this blog is to use what I've learned about employee engagement as a researcher and a practitioner to inspire dialogue and discussion about this critical business topic -- and to engage you in mutual learning about employee engagement.

Why should you care about employee engagement?

Because people are at the heart of economic growth and corporate success. If you can engage your people, they will bring their best selves to work -- not just applying effort, but also creativity, innovation and proactive-problem solving to help your business succeed.

However, if you're reading this blog, chances are you already care about employee engagement. Perhaps instead you're wondering, What can this blog tell me about employee engagement that I don't already know?

Hopefully you'll see some new ideas in what I'll share with you from my research and experience (my recently-published doctoral dissertation is about employee engagement, and I have been working in related areas for almost 15 years). Certainly, you can expect to find some of your knowledge and intuition confirmed.

Perhaps the better response is to ask you: What do you want to know about employee engagement? What do you know already that you've not yet seen printed? What questions are going to take our discussion about employee engagement to the next level?

I'm really looking forward to getting to know more of you in the employee engagement community and sharing our expertise towards creating value through engagement.
