night to finish up that project…
I had an idea for employee recognition. What if we set
up a gratitude box and put in the names of people…

•Create an adoption strategy
• Top to bottom – Executive sponsorship & pilot
• Bottom up – Evangelists to inspire
• Promotions and contests, market the idea
•Make it easy to discover and share – Central online library or portal with search and
share tools
*Microsoft (earn points for contributing content, and for # views)
*Qualcomm (video contest – why I love to work here)
•Choose a platform for video/audio
capture and publishing
•Set up a short pilot program
•Create an employee survey
•Set up business processes and
governance – roles & permissions,
workflow & approvals, content
security
[If no introduction, do my own introduction] If you want slides…
Fewer than 1 in 3… Blessing White 2010 45% is Conference Board 2010 Only 52% trust leadership “ £64 billion that disengagement costs the UK economy4” – The August 2009 Gallup Employee Engagement Index reported that only 33 percent of workers are engaged in their jobs, 49 percent are not engaged, and 18 percent are actively disengaged. The Gallup Organization defines the categories as follows: According to Modern Survey, Sept 2011: Disengagement at all time high Full engaged employees = 8% 20% looking for new job - 70% under engaged “ I have confidence in the future of my company/organization” and “My company/organization is headed in the right direction,” proved to be the most highly associated with individual respondents’ engagement levels.
So, this epidemic of low engagement is a crisis. Crisis for COMPANIES and crisis for INDIVIDUALS.
Doug believed in what is called “The Service Profit Chain…”
And in fact, research from Kenexa proves it… 5x higher Solid Investments in Engagement Yield Shareholder Return: The Aetna Story, Kenexa 2009 http://www.kenexa.com/getattachment/5f2fbd34-91fa-427b-b6eb-1db90a9ae4b7/Solid-Investments-in-Engagement-Yield-Shareholder-.aspx
So, this epidemic of low engagement is a crisis. Crisis for COMPANIES and crisis for INDIVIDUALS.
Emotions at work, whether good or bad, spillover to our personal lives and cross over to those around us.
In the famous Swedish WOLF study, Researchers asked 3,122 men to rate their bosses using a ten question survey (the five questions above were the ones found to be most predictive). They then tracked the men for the next ten years to see which ones wound up hospitalized for heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular problem. The study found that men who worked for effective leaders were about one third to half as likely to be hospitalized from heart disease, or to put it another way, working for a bad boss seems makes you 50% more likely to suffer a heart attack or related ailment.
- This is the Unified Communications Spectrum – Chat, telephony, calendar, collaboration, messaging, presence, Audio Web Video Conferencing and Streaming - According to Gartner, “UC” registers as a Top 5 networking investment in 2012 Enterprise wants increased support for mobile devices - By next year, more than 90 percent of enterprises will support corporate applications on a variety of personal devices.These personal devices include laptops, tablets and mobile phones. - At least 60 percent of information workers will access content applications using a mobile device by 2015. This will be driven by the increasing use of mobile video for work. - Enterprises should develop strategies to support video on mobile devices in order to engage mobile workers, Gartner recommends. This includes planning for adaptive delivery of content that enables variable bandwidth and time-shifted consumption, because employees who rely on mobile devices will not always have sufficient access to network resources to consume live video. - We have more options today, than ever before to reach out and connect with others, anywhere, anytime and on any device. - By far the most engaging of all UC modalities is Video.
Infonetics Research says “ The Enterprise video market will maintain steady growth, rising at least 6 percent a year for the next four years”. Now, each one of these enterprise video capabilities presents an opportunity to improve employee engagement
Uses for Video: Just in time or ad-hoc training HR and employee benefits Internal executive communications Better project and departmental communications Better product/procedural demos Companies lack the creation and sharing tools or platforms Want better support for streaming video Companies want easy asset management, publishing and reporting Need mobile capabilities to enable a growing field workforce
Employees are ready for video and see a value in the workplace Value of Video: Their response rate 6 x more effective than print 50% increase in memory retention compared to print 52 to 66% increase in message understanding 50% to 65% increase in leadership trust Evokes emotion, aiding in “long-term” memory Communicates authenticity That leads us to the point: Now that you have all this video Where are you going to put it? How are users going to find it, consume and share it?
