How Committed Are Your Staff - The Importance of Surveys
"Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work" (Vince Lombardi, football coach) Within a company, the importance of a team is vital for the success of a business or organization. However a team is made up of individuals all working towards a common goal. In order to achieve as a group, as a team, there needs to be a common determination and drive towards the teams goals and targets. The level of interest one has towards his occupation is referred to as employee engagement, and understanding how committed your staff are, is one of the biggest challenges in management, hence the need of staff surveys. Employee engagement is the level of interest that individuals take in their jobs, their emotional attachment to their vocation. An "engaged employee" is a worker who is interested and enthusiastic about their work, thus the employee works harder in order to further their organization and to contribute to the common goal. In contrast an employee who is not interested or does not care for about their job, clocks in and clocks out without being driven or motivating and in return not motivating others. If too many people like this are in a team then the team will never achieve. In order to maintain a high level of employee engagement staff surveys are necessary. Like M.O.Ts and health check-ups, staff surveys check that staff performance is at an optimum. Staff surveys are similar to < href=http:

There is no ‘I' in ‘Team'
There is no ‘I' in ‘Team', however the individuals within a team and their attitude all contribute. Motivation is something that within a team, if everyone has, can lead to great things. If employee engagement is at a positive high level then targets, goals and achievements are more plausible. Employee engagement is the level of interest that individuals take in their jobs, their emotional attachment to their vocation. Whether their interest positive or negative, high or low, it all affects the individual's performance within the work place as well as contributing to team moral. An "engaged employee" is one who is keen, eager and passionate about their work thus will work harder in order to further their organization. Employee engagement is key to the success of any business. Motivated and knowledgeable staff will always drive productivity and drive a company forward. Staff that are aware of targets and goals know what they need to do in order to achieve, thus employees with a good engagement will work to meet and beat their targets set. The role of motivational management within business has never been more vital, as if everyone is singing off of the same hymn sheet, things always sound better. In football, teams that achieve great things are the teams where every player wants the same thing. Targets are motivation as one knows what to work towards but occasionally team members may need reminding, thus the role of motivational management. By findin

Massage Envy Rowlett Practices Gift-Giving for Holidays
Alisyn Schreiber and her co-workers at Massage Envy Rowlett know that Christmas is all about gifts given, not gifts received. The result…almost 200 toys for area children. Partnering with Toys for Tots, the annual Marine Corps campaign for needy children, the staff at the Rowlett Massage Envy clinic collected toys for more than four weeks before Christmas. "We believe that every child should be able to open a present on Christmas morning," Ms. Schreiber said. "And every family should be able to celebrate the holiday season without stress or worry." Spearheaded by Ms. Schreiber, the clinic offered incentives to both clients and the staff to donate toys. Toys for Tots signs and a donation box were prominently displayed at the clinic during November and December. "We chose to work with Toys for Tots this Christmas because we care about bringing joy and happiness to those who aren't as fortunate as others," Ms. Schreiber said. "Many of us are parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and we wanted to be able to reach out to families in the DFW area. Next year, we want to shoot for 300 toys." "We're so happy and proud of our staff," said Dr. Rick Klics and his wife, April, owners of Massage Envy Rowlett. "This was their idea, and they did all of the work to make this so successful. It really feels good to give back to our community." Several Massage Envy clinics in the D/FW area joined with the U.S. Marine Corps and its Toys for Tots program. At Massage Envy, an i
