So we’re into week 2 of Project Social and Dave Ryan and I caught up last Friday to discuss next steps. One topic that came up is that our circumstances are very different and yet, here we are working together. Dave’s a male HR executive living in the Midwest and I’m a working mom living in Munich employed by a California-based software company. We both have something to say about HR, however, and together we can say it louder. We decided that this week we would interview each other. Dave''s interview of me can be found over at HR Official. Are they similar? Dave: The second answer first -yes.

There were some great presentations, captured in the graphic, although I think some were more innovative than others! Enterprise 2.0

An engaging moment trumps an annual survey score. Key is unlocking the moment. Employee engagement is less about one consistent score measuring work over a year than ensuring that you fully engage with the key moments of your work. The key to engagement is not an annual measure but how we unlock the vital moments of work. Engage movement with the moment. David Zinger , M.Ed.,
