We've Moved!

Robert Gray, President, Insightlink Communications

I'm happy to announce that Insightlink Communications is now settling into our brand spanking new offices in Pasadena, California. After 9 years in Glendale and badly needing room to grow, we decided a move east to a new city at the start of a new decade was appropriate. And it didn't hurt that it means a shorter commute for most of us, which in this neck of the woods is a big deal!

We're now located at 80 South Lake Ave., Suite 680 in Pasadena just a block away from the route of the Rose Parade with a great view of Mount Wilson and, I've been told, some amazing feng shui as well.

So please update your address books and contact information with our new address and phone number.

Thanks to you, our valued clients, Insightlink has continued to thrive and grow and we're looking forward to giving you outstanding service in the years ahead.

Improve Employee Engagement Now

As the economy continues to recover, can your business survive a wave of resignations?

Right Management surveyed more than 900 workers in North America and asked: Do you plan to pursue new job opportunities as the economy improves in 2010? Here are the results:
  • 60% - Yes, I intend to leave
  • 21% - Maybe, so I'm networking
  • 6% - Not likely, but I've updated my resume
  • 13% - No, I intend to stay
Shockingly, only 13% have definite intentions to stay put. So what can be done?

Spend time. Business owners and managers need to spend time with their employees, answer their questions, and continually reinforce each employee's value to the company. "Money pays the bills but it doesn't engage the spirit, inspire enthusiasm or drive innovation."

Implement recognition programs. Increasing the amount of recognition employees receive often increases engagement.

Provide meaningful feedback. Communication is what employees crave. Based on our 2010 benchmark results, less than 4 in 10 employees are satisfied with the effectiveness of communication where they work.

Ask for their input. If you need to really understand things from your employees' point of view then you need a tool that will give you the greatest level of insight into what they think and how they feel. Insightlink's 4Cs Employee Survey is exactly that.

We will be publishing selected findings from our 2010 4Cs Employee Benchmark Study in the coming months. Please contact us if you'd like to receive a free copy.

We've also just launched an expanded and re-designed web site specifically for our 4Cs Employee Survey. You should take some time to visit it here.
