The Silent Revolution That Will Topple Your Company — Hilton Barbour
Businesses seldom topple and fall because of monumental and loud failures. They fall because of a quiet and relentless series of small and insidious decisions and behaviours that are made each and everyday. The Silent Revolution happening inside your company will spell your demise if you don’t tackl

The Value of Belonging at Work
The Value of Belonging at Work
I think I've mentioned that the concept of "belonging" is far more powerful than "joining" (think about that when you write your 47th "join us!" social media job post...), but the HBR goes deeper, defining the value of having people feel like they belong to the company. (Note the juxtaposition with the white paper above where isolation and loneliness are going to be a real problem).

Confused About Who's Engaged? Try This Handy Engagement Test to Sort It All Out... - Fistful of Talent
How can you figure out which employees are really engaged? Kris Dunn has a VERY interesting litmus test for managers. I love it because it taps into what engagement is all about: a willingness to take initiative to make tomorrow better.

The Key to Engaging New Hires: Psychological Safety - TalentCulture
The Key to Engaging New Hires: Psychological Safety - TalentCulture
If there is "low-hanging fruit" in getting staff to engage with your employer brand, it is likely new hires. Get them before they become jaded or cynical, and show them how their engagement supports the brand and the company, and you can build an army of advocates. That said, Meghan Biro suggests the best way to engage with those new hires is to start by intentionally creating a sense of psychological safety.

Valve's 'Handbook for New Employees' leaked, hilarious illustrations included - The Verge
Valve's 'Handbook for New Employees' leaked, hilarious illustrations included - The Verge
Consider how many people applied to Valve after seeing this viral employee handbook (which was designed as a public-facing document because it has a section on what it is looking for in new employees). If you read it, it is filled to the brim with so many little touches and brand-specfic in-jokes that it REEKS of publicity stunt, but an insanely specific one.

Employee Activism Brings New Brand Challenges | Branding Strategy Insider
Employee Activism Brings New Brand Challenges | Branding Strategy Insider
What happens when your employees get politically active? This week, more than 360 Amazon employees signed a public petition demanding the corporation take action on climate change. The company responded by threatening to fire them. Last year, Google saw a mass walkout. Between Greta, a US presidential election and Brexit, the political and social landscape is getting very tricky. And yes, your employer brand plays a role. If you've established values and pillars around being green or being socially responsible, what happens when staff act on that? And do you know how leadership will respond?

8 Employee Engagement Statistics You Need to Know in 2020 [INFOGRAPHIC]
8 Employee Engagement Statistics You Need to Know in 2020 [INFOGRAPHIC]
Meanwhile (same report), further proof that the world of work continues to evolve as 73% of employees feel like they should have a role in shaping the company (see previous article about creating strategy buy-in). That in itself reinforces my own belief that reporting on declining employee engagement is an outcome of feeling disconnected from the decisions being made. Three out of four want to be part of the change, but according to Gallup, only 17% feel engaged? That's a problem.

Stop Trying to Make Your Employees Happy. Start Thinking About Their Fulfillment Instead | Inc.com
Speaking of over-indexing, I'm going to call it right now: we as an industry are over-indexing on employee happiness. So many articles and presentations that assume we all want to attract candidates who will be happy in our roles, and I think we've overshot the mark. You can't offer happiness any more than you can offer someone joy. Those are emotions people make themselves. So I was thrilled to see this piece suggesting we focus on offering professional fulfillment rather than happiness.

Rethinking emotion in marketing to deepen engagement
Rethinking emotion in marketing to deepen engagement
You can't convince anyone of anything using only logic (see: reddit political forums, twitter political chats, et al). You need an emotional reaction, after which, the listener will find the logic to justify their new position. I ended up podcasting a bit about this idea, but here's a solid article if this is a subject that interests you.

Your Employees Are More Loyal Than You Think
Your Employees Are More Loyal Than You Think
I'm really surprised I haven't heard more chatter about this essay at HBR. They suggest that one strategy to encouraging retention is to focus on hiring women. They also bring up data suggesting employees (even millennials) want to be loyal. As someone who is marries to a career coach, I can affirm that NO ONE likes or wants to look for a job unless they absolutely have to, so maybe companies don't really have to bend over backwards to increase retention.

Why now is the perfect time for a corporate book club
Is now the perfect time to form a company book club? Well, I'm a huge fan of getting book clubs together (and I've seen instances of the CEO just mentioning that he/she is reading a certain book lead to informal but impactful culture change), so yes. Do it. Do it now. The trick, as ever, is to pick a good book.
