Today I wanted to share with you all the 8 essential drivers for employee engagement taken from the Conference Board of Canada's Employee Engagement Study that was published in 2006. The 8 drivers are still very relevant today and should be the focus of your engagement efforts.
As many of you known there is a shift in the way recruiting employees is done these days, many organizations have turned to social media for there recruiting efforts. But even as the change from physical resumes to .doc files is currently happening there is still a large factor lacking in recruiting via social media. All organizations can go on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to post a job but how effective is that really? Does that posting convey your organizational culture and what exactly it would be like to work for your organization? More than likely it does not contain the above information so why not change that.
Unlike the loser of the Indianapolis 500, there is no money for someone who finishes second or third in a sales cycle. When companies compete, only one gets the order. Every other company (unless they were incompetent or obnoxious) is told that they came in second. The real reason they lost hardly ever shows up in a loss report: they were out-sold!
I hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed some of the nice weather we had here in Ontario. But Monday is the start of another week so that means the start to a new week of fresh posts! Today I would like to share with you some tips to making sure your employees succeed. Many employees wish to see how their efforts affect the organization on a grander scale and its up to the manager to create this connection.
We are social animals. Business-to-Business is no different. They are highly socially active and, whether you like it or not, are getting most of their information from sources that you do not directly control. New researchfrom GroupM and comScore reveals that 48% of purchasers who started with a search engine search for products and subsequently purchased, are taking a social activity as a next step in the buying process to validate their decision.
Turns out, the topic of “Attention” is far more subtle and elusive than you might expect. In fact, Attention has been one of the most challenging topics of neuroscience investigations over the last 50 years. There are two main topic areas: non-cognitive attention and cognitive attention. In short, non-cognitive attention focused on what captures our attention without us thinking about it or making a conscious choice to focus our attention. And conversely, the study of cognitive attention deals with how we control our attention, or lack control of maintaining sustained conscious attention as in the case of Attention Deficit Disorder. Since our main focus as online marketers and online customer experience professionals is on capturing attention, I’m going to focus on the non-cognitive aspect of attention here. Let me set up the topic.
It would be difficult to find more fitting spokespeople than the current and former clients that have successfully worked with vpi towards their employment goals. vpi Inc.’s Mississauga Employment Strategies Centre held an Open House this past Friday May 9th, 2011 to celebrate their relocation to 1290 Central parkway West, Suite 210. Along with invited members of the City of Mississauga and other dignitaries, the speeches from their clients were inspiring and perfectly illustrative of the innovative and important work of vpi Employment Centres.
Among the guests were; City of Mississauga, Ward 6 Councilor, Ron Starr, Employment Training Consultant, Mary Lyon and Manager of the Mississauga office of the Ontario Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities, Michelle Sale and vpi’s own CEO and Founder Gail Rieschi who helped to cut the ribbon and enjoyed the speeches and presentations. There were several media groups on hand to cover the event including the Mississauga News.
As a business leader, one of your many job functions may include managing disability costs. From unexpected injury to long-term illness, vpi estimates that employers spend as much as 20% of their annual payroll on disability costs! With that number in mind, gaining control of disability costs must be a business goal and priority.
Our disability management services help employers just like you assist employees who are unable to work due to injury or illness, while also helping your organization:
Minimize employee disability
Find replacement hiring
Return employees back to work
Reduce training and legal costs
But, you don’t have to rely only on our word that vpi’s disability management services really work. We’ve researched our clients, and after managing their client disability management services for a 12-month period, we discovered a 20% reduction in the frequency and duration of disability claims and 15-20% lowered absence and disability-related costs.
We achieve these impressive results by designing attendance and disability programs that fit within the context of your unique culture. What’s more, we integrate these processes into your corporate communications and messaging so employees understand that disability management is win-win for both employees and the employer. Finally, we deliver hands-on management of the vendors and associated disability services.
Our disability management services include:
Occupational and Non-Occupational Disability Claims Management (STD, LTD, WSIB)
Employee Wellness Services
Physical Demands Analyses
Cognitive Demand Analyses

Insurers, claimants and employers all benefit from a safe and timely return to work in the event of an injury. In addition to the serious financial ramifications associated with an extended absence from work, the affected individual often struggles with lost social relationships, emotional detachment, anxiety and depression.
Research suggests, however, that sometimes such a return to work becomes derailed. From misdiagnosed injuries to employer policies that aren’t geared to returning people to work, the sad truth remains – if an individual misses six months of work due to injury or illness, they may never re-enter the workforce.
vpi has developed programs to help address such challenges. In addition to our rehabilitation and return to work services, we also offer early intervention services. This solution is designed to identify problems, gaps and roadblocks early in the recovery process so such issues can be addressed before they become major obstacles. By taking a proactive approach, an individual can return to work more quickly and safely – and help prevent an extended absence from work.
Please contact vpi today to learn more about our early intervention services and how we’re helping Canadians return to work.
