3. Liz- The Importance of Employee Engagement
 The National Business Research Institute Inc. Posted
an information graph on their website on September
22, 2011 to demonstrate “The Importance of
Employee Engagement” (NBRI 2011). It shows the
research that typically one in three employees is
engaged at work and outlines how one can engage
their employees. “Everyone in the company is given
a slice of the responsibility pie. It’s a matter of
properly indentifying each employee’s role as part of
the greater whole, and instilling accountability to
perform roles” (NBRI 2011).

9. Cindy – Creating a Culture of
Employee Engagement
 Creating a culture within an organization especially a positive
culture can have a powerful impact on employees. The benefits
are better working relationships, engaging work productivity,
inspire creativity, dedication to the company, and employees will
feel at ease with others as well as in their jobs. A strong
corporate culture can make it more competitive and profitable.
Important factors to building a culture of employee engagement
are Communication, Authority, Safety, and Opportunities for
growth.

2min gained from those experiences
an incredible sense of
belonging, a deeper belief in the
power of people to act together,
and even a sense of happiness.
And while their happiness may
have been tied to some personal
achievement, they will almost
always say that it was also a
result of their connection to
others.

Harwood
Rich Harwood, President & Founder of the Harwood Institute for
Public Innovation, expounds on how to effectively lead Authentic
Engagement.

11. Erin – Authenticity of Employee
Engagement
•When surveyed employees continually responded with
wanting an employer to have a commitment to social
responsibility. For employees to care about what they do
they want their companies to set the example. Employees
believe there is a trickle down effect. If an organization
invests “care” in their practices, and environment, they will
do the same for their people. Employees chose social
responsibility over money and promotions. Organizations
such as Zappos, Patagonia, and New Belgium Brewing,
have been spotlighted for their employee engagement
success. While many firms are struggling to develop
effective engagement programs these firms opened their
doors with a grass roots mentality of social responsibility,
which seems to be the learning curve on successful
employee engagement.

12. Juan - Employee Engagement vs. Employee
Communication
 Employee Engagement is bringing a
whole array of skills and disciplines,
anthropology, sociology, psychology, it’s
all about “How do we get people to
emotionally connect to the work they do
everyday, which is different than How
do we share information with them.”
-Maril
Maril pioneered a discipline that initiates collaboration with corporate
leaders to optimize business performance by engaging and mobilizing
