BlessingWhite Engagement Survey

BlessingWhite Global Engagement Survey for 2010 is being launched in July and August 2010.

BlessingWhite consistently provides authoritative data fro this global survey, based on our differentiating point of view that Engagement involves being "enthused & in gear"!

The latest Employee Engagement Report by global consulting firm BlessingWhite indicates that even though the majority of employees express positive feelings about their work, their employers, and even their managers, less than one-fifth are fully engaged in their work. "Engaged employees are not just happy or proud. They are what we call 'enthused and in gear,' focusing their talents to make a difference in their employer's success," explains Christopher Rice, BlessingWhite's President and CEO. "We found that only 18% of our survey respondents had all the pieces of this engagement puzzle in place."

According to the report, lack of alignment is a primary reason for so few employees being fully engaged. Rice observes, "For the third year in a row, our survey results indicate that strategy isn't getting very far out of the boardroom. Although more respondents this year indicated that their organization's strategy is well communicated (41% vs. 33% in 2005), only 19% indicated that they believe daily work priorities are linked to a clearly communicated strategy. Our findings suggest that a lot of well-meaning, hard-working employees are spinning their wheels on work that may not matter much to their employers. Sooner or later, their attitude will take a nose-dive or they'll burn out." Another key finding: Strong manager-employee partnerships lead to more engaged employees.

Our Consultants and Subject Matter Experts

Polson & Co and L&D Nexus have a combined tenure in the industry of over 35 years and a key differentiator for us is our network and experience in working with these professionals.

Our consultants and associate partners have the relevant subject matter expertise combined with "real business" experience to provide a powerful combination in the delivery and facilitation of any intervention. They are engaging and practical in their approach to adult learning.

Our Philosophy for adult learning is based on following principles:

• Feeling in control and have choices in the direction of the learning process.
• A high level of respect for their current viewpoints and status.
• Building on participant’s previous experience.
• "Transferability" – applying the concepts and skills immediately to real situations in their own lives.
• A mix of delivery approaches, including considerable interactivity: role-play or drama, discussion groups, questionnaires or other feedback.
• Visual aids– e.g., video-clips, OHP graphics, PowerPoint.
• Participants are given the space to come to their own conclusions based on evidence offered to them and self directed learning
• The learning environment is friendly, informal, and often humorous.

We have specialists in all areas of organisational development and strategic planning.

Our consultants have academic qualifications and accreditations in most tools and diagnostics as well as a core group of Blessingwhite accredited consultants.

Registered Training Organisations

L&D Nexus has two Registered Training Organisations as strategic alliances for any client programs that need to be aligned to a Certificate or Diploma outcome as we are not an RTO.
