Some pearls of wisdom from employee engagement specialists

 

March 9th, 2010 By Kelly Dyer, Editor
kelly.dyer@melcrum.com

With the US employee engagement conference now over, (don't forget to find out the winner of the 2010 Melcrum award for employee engagement) all eyes are on the London and Australian events covering the same topic a little later this year.

With many companies putting the past behind them and wanting to find innovative (and cost effective) ways of re-energizing their workforce, the role of communication in employee engagement is still one of the most urgent issues for internal communicators around the world.

In Melbourne, the location of the Australian conference, the keynote speaker will be Zrinka Lovrencic, managing consultant at the Great Place to Work Institute.

In this exclusive interview with James Bennett, Melcrum's head of content, Lovrencic explains what the most important element of becoming a great place to work is and reveals why internal communicators are central to the transformation of ordinary companies becoming great companies.

Until next time,

Kelly Dyer
