I thought I would introduce you to Einstein’s lesser known theory: E = MR2
Engagement = Meaningful Relevant Recognition
Okay, so Einstein wasn’t really interested in engagement. Fun picture though, wouldn’t you agree? I made it at: http://www.redkid.net/generator/sign.php
Research from the Gallup organization as reported in Tom Rath and Donald Clifton’s book, How Full Is Your Bucket, shows that recognition improves engagement. The Gallup study goes so far as to say that people who feel recognized will engage their coworkers.
Recognition really does improve engagement.

I like the equation very relative and relevant.
A bit of a pun? Thanks for smile! For those that don’t know, David is also involved in improving employee engagement. http://www.davidzinger.com/
