| Excel in conflict resolution
|
|
 Although most of us want smooth interpersonal interactions, disagreements and conflicts are part of any dynamic organization.
Not all conflict is negative. In some cases it should even be encouraged when discussion and debate can generate creative, innovative approaches to issues or decisions. Conflict is beneficial when the focus is on finding the best solution. However, conflict is unproductive when it fails to produce mutually satisfying solutions, or when it becomes personal. Resolving conflict doesn’t come easily to many people. |
Employee Engagement: Have you neglected your talent during the downturn?
|
|
 As we approach an upturn in the employment market, employee engagement and retention need to become a key focus for organisations.
The response of organisations to the recent market downturn has had a significant detrimental impact over the longer term engagement of their workforce.
Company's reactions to the GFC such as downsizing, redundancies and recruitment freezes have actively de-motivated employees.
Even more impactful however, has been the reduction in the investment towards internal employee inducement functions |

| Survey - How passionate are your employees about their organisation?
|
|
Does your organisation have an image (an employer brand) that employees are proud of and makes other people want to work for your organisation?
Drake research has revealed that, following the GFC, a large proportion of staff are unlikely to recommend their organisation to friends as a place to work. It has also found that organisations are starting to find it difficult to retain and attract good quality staff.
Based on these findings, are you concerned about how your organisation is perceived by staff and potential employees?
Employment branding is the organisations image as seen through the eyes of its staff and potential hires. Organisations develop employment brands in order to develop a compelling story for existing and potential employees about working for the organisation.
Drake International invites you to spend 10 minutes to answer 15 questions about how and if organisations develop employee value propositions, and also how they communicate with prospective employees (employment branding).
By completing this survey you will receive a copy of the Drake Employer Branding Research findings and also have the chance to win a $200 or $50 Coles Group & Myer Gift Card!

Survey closes at 3.00 pm on Friday, 14 May 2010.
