The Soft Pitch

I just came back from the BMA  Business Marketing Association annual conference in Las Vegas which was an excellent experience on tech/social media activities and good old basic networking. Jeff Hayzlett from Kodak is the new prez…he is Mr Energy…love being in the same room. I was asked to discuss employee engagement with Profoundly Simple founder, Tom White (who knows his stuff) which I found very intriguing that it’s still such a hot topic…it is a no brainer isn’t it? I came away very proud of the fact Avnet was the case study used to see how brand/shareholder value etc are impacted by employee engagement…

Avnet has been doing employee surveys for years but the past 4 under the guidance of our Chief HR/OD leader Steve Church we have used Watson Wyatt the premier research company in this area. Our recent scores show we continue to move towards the right and up and so do our EPS stats…sounds like we are reaping the rewards of a positive culture…which is values and performanced based…looking for real data that proves these points or examples of what is working ask Steve.
