#OzHR 27 - Employee Engagement - is it all a big hoax?

Join us for #OzHR's first Wednesday tweetchat!

This week we'll be unpicking that old new chestnut, employee engagement. And to make it more interesting, we'll be having a look at the contentious view that it's all a fraud! Check out this provocative post by Neil Morrison

It got the HR world talking, even here in Australia. Some people agreed (cue Richard Westney)...

And some didn't!

It even made news in Sarah Miller's exclusive vlog, HRM TV: HR in Social Media.

I dare say there's a lot of money riding on the back of employee engagement that may make this a voracious subject!

So in keeping with discussing the burning issues of the Oz HR World, let's put it out there...

The chat will be Wednesday 12 August starting at 7pm AEST. Find your city (or corresponding time zone) below, for the starting time:

7:00pm - Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Hobart, Melbourne (AEST)
6:30pm - Adelaide, Darwin (ACST)
5:00pm - Perth (AWST)

Over in NZ, it's 9:00pm.

Other parts of the world - 4:00pm in Singapore, 8:00am in London, 5:00am in New York and 2:00am in LA! 

Just make sure to pop a #OzHR in your tweet so we can see it, and be sure to invite others along for the ride!

The questions for this topic are:

1. Is Employee Engagement a big hoax?   

2. Do employers use Employee Engagement to get something for free? 

3. Does an employee deserve to have their organisation "engage" them?

4. Where do you see "Employee Engagement" in future? What's its role?
