nice huh?
It’s the title of my upcoming book, due out in August of this year. It even looks smart. Look at all the capital letters. And a colon too.
Even better, my name comes first on this one… That’s right, Drizin, Hundley. Not Hundley, Drizin. That bugged me. […]

The first time since I have been conducting national and international research on employee loyalty, engagement and retention
A leading indicator of deteriorating morale and retention among “worker-bee” employees in the future
A hindrance to improving efficiency, productivity and error rate
An impending problem that will cost businesses billions of dollars in the future

What could it be?
Bird Flu?

Yea, I know… my shoulder hurts ’cause I am patting myself on the back. It’s Wednesday, and I’m on schedule!
Engineering a Demand
The country is facing a critical shortage of engineers. Young adults in college are choosing higher-paying jobs in healthcare and finance rather than moving into engineering. This national shortage has led to […]

What?
Say Again?
Please? (for those of you in Cincinnati or from the midwest, that is a hoot!)

OK, it’s another attention getting headline. An anagram for Late On Friday. I missed another whole day on Wednesday, just about blew off a meeting I had with a colleague yesterday morning, and got buried in my […]

I feel shamed.
Humiliated.
Dishonored.
Disgusted.

Wow, I missed a whole Wednesday.  I’m not even going to try to explain.  Excuses don’t help, explanations don’t get the blog written.
OK, enough of that.  I’ve been busy with work-life balance issues…
My Joshie-boy graduated from college yesterday.  Although it was raining in Granville, Ohio (right outside Columbus), it was sunny and bright inside.  About […]

Talk about feeling sick….
Only two thirds of health care workers Enjoy coming to work, the same percentage as in 2004. Three quarters have a strong relationship with their supervisor, feel their job provides a feeling of personal accomplishment, and believe there is a good fit between their skills and abilities and their job. […]

You know I’m a survey guy, it’s one of the services that I most often provide to my clients. Whether annual “engagement assessments”, ongoing “pulse polls” to targeted employees, exit interviews, or work on the customer side of the equation, I know the business, it’s something I’ve been doing now for over 25 […]
