This article from Marketing Week caught my eye this week. Coca Cola are launching a new internal social network, as a mechanism to support their global employee base in staying connected. Sainsbury’s are apparently trialling the same thing although their objective seems a little less focused. Social networks seem the obvious way to go for big companies and as more and more do it I shall be

This is what's on my mind this morning. Businesses the world over name agility as one of their 'core values' and many more reference it in their client spiel. It's quite hard to achieve though, as William Hague will tell you.So how do you build 'agility' into your culture, and really mean it? Here are 5 suggestions.Work on your internal communication. No not your newsletter, the communication

Last week, I attained the right honourable position of Judge Samantha Lizars. Only for about 2 hours admittedly, and not actually in a court room. Rather in a classroom, for one of the London heats of the nationwide Debating Matters contest.The competition is aimed at encouraging A level students to have a go at debating. They are expected to be able to stage an argument on a tough subject, and

We all know instinctively that the space around us affects how well and how happily we do things in it. Anyone who has ever tried to join the Mile High Club in an aeroplane lavatory knows this to be true.So work space design is an important thing for all businesses to consider. How productive can employees be in the space? Is it suitable for the kind of behaviour you want to foster? What about

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from Posterous who I have a (totally unused) blog account with. The email was a very well worded apology that their servers had been hit by Denial of Service attacks and had buckled, and gone down. They came up again an hour or so later, but it seems the Posterous team and users continued to fight major problems for the rest of the week. Now I don't actually

Yesterday I read the following irritated tweet from an editor at one of the national newspapers. ‘My desk phone is broken. IT man has taken it away. And a replacement? "Oh, we haven't got any". Marvellous.’ The cause of the frustration humming through this little tweet, isn’t I don’t believe, the lack of a phone. The quotation marks speak volumes. The frustration has come from the way this

The 25th Hour is a brilliant nationwide campaign which aims to use the motivational power of the 2012 Olympic Games in London to inspire a surge in volunteers to help communities around the UK.The idea is to tap into existing enthusiasm around 2012, to inspire people to find a little extra time in their day to give to their local communities.

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has commissioned a report on the importance of employee engagement in helping Britain out deep, dark recession.

Michael O Keefe over at Innovation Beehive has just done an interview with Kursty Groves, author of, 'I Wish I Worked There'. There are some great insights, but it's this one that really catches my eye is this:“The first thing is that management have to use the creative space. If they role model behaviour, then others in the organisation will follow. Also, it has to be firmly on brand – the

This article from the BBC interested me.'...A New Zealand woman has lost her accounting job after sending "confrontational" emails filled with block capitals. So why is it taboo to hit the caps-lock key?'The article goes on to speculate around the reasons why capital letters, mis-used, are so capable of causing grief.

The other day I found myself standing in a wedding shop, tiara in hand, bridal shoe on foot, left to sort myself out while the shop assistant went off to answer the phone.I didn't mind too much, I'm not a very high maintenance bride, but after a while I did start to think she had her priorities a bit wrong.

I think that counts as procrastination don't you?So then, a quick post (when procrastinating my advice is to do something, start small, get back in the swing), on a theme which is showing up as a problem for a few of my clients at the moment: Closing the loop on a conversation, or rather, not

A couple of weeks ago I went to see ?What If! The Innovation Company. I’ve been a fan of their work ever since I was lucky enough to benefit from their creativity training back in 2001 – training which inspired me to launch a new career. So when Alexander Kjerulf, author of, ‘Happy Hour is 9 to 5’ suggested them as a candidate for the Getting it Right series, I didn’t need too much persuading.?

Just come across this brilliant advice on employment for women, written in the 1916 Girl Scouts manual - How Girls Can Help Their Country.This really made me smile at how things change. The list of possible jobs for a woman are probably all seemed quite progressive at the time, and the advice that one should choose a career and stick to it was sound. Both now are of course happily outdated.

Just recently a couple of people have asked me for my thoughts on engaging freelance employees. I'm not surprised they're asking. As our economy relies more and more on flexible resources, so the way we work with our freelancers becomes more important.The thing about freelancers is that many of them are very good at what they do, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do it for very long.

Last week, French Justice Minister, Rachida Dati returned to work 5 days after the birth of her child by caesaerean section. Ouch!

After my last post on the subject of fresh starts in 2009, I stumbled across this article by the brilliant Alexander Kjerulf. For all you leadership types the post is entitled "Note from my boss". It fashions itself as a letter of intent from a boss to a new employee stating the employer's commitment to the employee, and what they would like in return.Interestingly if you read the comments,

Ok lovely blog readers, first of all, an apology: I'm very sorry that there were no posts, at all, for the whole of November. I'm also very touched that you've all kept checking in in that time, just in case! I was busy working on a change project on behalf of one of the energy companies.

Perhaps surprisingly, the next employee engagement guru to have the spot light shone in his general direction is Phil Jepson, HR Director at Beaverbrooks the Jewellers. I say it’s a surprise; it won’t be to any of you that keep up with the UK and European best employer lists. You’ll know that Beaverbrooks have been in the top ten of both the FT and the Times lists for the past 4 years now.

When I first started out on my own, I thought that I would have to be competitive, fight tooth and nail for every good thing, watch my back and be secretive. Obviously I didn't think any of this out loud in case people thought I was mad, but deep down I thought being a business woman would mean developing a tougher husk. Well as it turns out this was the first thing I was wrong about, although

Following an ICM poll of 1000 people, the Church of England have discovered (among other things) that around 1/3rd of people are anticipating a very busy time at work coming up.

There is a movement coming over from America called ROWE (Results Only Work Environment). There's plenty of good stuff to it, however its basic premise is that 'face time' for face time's sake is pointless. I understand the sentiment, but actually I don't agree.How many times have you been at work and met someone in the corridor, jogging your memory and reminding you that you needed to ask them

If the key to success in property investment is, ‘location, location, location’, then Pret would tell us the key to a happy and productive work force is, ‘recruitment, recruitment, recruitment’.Head of Communications, Jay Chapman, is passionate about employee engagement and is frequently asked for the key to Pret’s success. She tells me she’d love to have a scary sounding formula to impress

A while ago I was doing a presentation on the effectiveness of employee engagement, and looking for the latest statistics to back it up. There have been a great number of studies done by reputable companies, and I found plenty of numbers that prove employee engagement is worth doing. The thing is, I also found them unutterably dull! I firmly believe that while statistics can sound impressive

Running the Numbers...I found this on the brilliant blog of my friend Dave.I normally have a heart-felt aversion to the use of statistics. It just seems a bit lazy and let's face it, whatever your point is, you'll probably be able to find a statistic somewhere that proves it. However this work by Chris Jordan, marrying numbers and art, suddenly makes the whole thing much more persuasive. Thanks

On Friday myself and Lea, practised what she preaches in a tour of all the independent shops in the whole of East London (or at least that's how it felt). We were looking for a particular outfit, and when we finally found it, celebration with a glass of champagne was the only way to go.So we headed to the very beautiful Beach Blanket Babylon in Shoreditch. Having arrived and settled ourselves

There is a company I know who give their employees bacon sandwiches on pay day morning and cold beers on a Friday afternoon. They even hand out ice creams when its hot. I suspect they consider themselves to be active exponents of employee engagement, but I'm not so sure about that. If this same company is also investing in a really strong communications programme, has an excellent recruitment

This weekend I went to the new Abercrombie & Fitch store in London, for the first time. I know, I know everyone else has already been there and done that, but may I now please join you all in your astonishment? Its amazing, surreal, wrong and oh so right.For those of you that haven't made the pilgrimage yet, Abercrombie & Fitch - Savile Row, is a shop second and a brand experience first. No wait,

Once upon a time there was a lovely chap called Gerald. Gerald was a senior software developer and a very happy one at that. He had lots of friends and a nice wife. None of them actually understood what he did at work, but he seemed happy and they were pleased for him. His wife was particularly proud of him, as more and more often his work was recognised as being the best there was. He was the go

Being one of an experiential bent, it has been my long held opinion that a key factor in how happy and productive your employees are, is the environment in which they work. Or put another way: people like working in funky offices.I was planning to write therefore, about how an inspiring environment can help you with:creativity in the work placemotivationtalent attraction and retentiona strong

I travelled back from Budapest through T5 yesterday and it wasn't a pleasant exercise. Aesthetically it is well designed, nice and quiet, and passport control is huge and well staffed so we were through in moments. Unfortunately that's where the good experience ended.Against the backdrop of last weeks disaster, (and having been forced at the last minute to fly out of Gatwick to our destination),

A friend of mine yesterday challenged me to find something good about Tesco's employee engagement policy. She (Lea, of the Unchained Guide) is fiercly anti-monopolies and as such not a fan of Tesco, however she wondered what someone who hadn't already formed strong opinions on the subject might think. Find Lea's original blog on the subject here. And my reply below.I've never worked for Tesco, so

When it comes to talking about employee engagement you really can't do it for very long before you mention Starbucks. Its like trying to eat a doughnut without brushing the sugar off your mouth - not possible.I went to the Starbucks website this morning, trying to find out about the termination of their HR outsourcing contract with Convergys - I thought I might find it at the back end of the site

A friend of mine is just starting an incredibly successful business (to be). Finding her on the net, one eager young thing sent in a CV on spec, along with a lovely covering letter saying how much she admired the site. She sounded great - but the business isn't ready to start hiring.As soon as that thank-you-but-no-thank-you letter gets sent, this girl will turn from prospective employee back

Ooooh... my first post on my new blog. What shall I say? Where shall I start? After all, who am I to spout my opinions?Sure, I do internal comms for Jack. And I know about employee engagement. And I know ALL about translating employer brands into brand experiences for internal audiences. And I have pretty clear views on what works and what doesn't.I also know though, that usually opinions aren't
