We are also thrilled to announce a new tool, The Bailey Employee Engagement Survey, a research based and statistically valid tool for assessing the commitment and engagement of your workforce. More importantly, this assessment will help identify the highest leverage actions for you to take to build a more committed and high performing workforce. Combined with our proven consulting, coaching and training services, The Bailey Employee Engagement Survey will be a critical tool for building a high performance workforce in your organization.
A High Performance Workforce Delivers Bottom-Line Results
By Leigh Bailey
One of the most difficult challenges for leaders of organizations in this deep recession is the tension between the short term decisions required to assure their firm’s survival and the long-range strategic thinking required to position the business for eventual economic recovery.
Unfortunately, an over-emphasis on short term cost cutting risks overlooking the single most important factor for the success of an organization: building and sustaining a High Performance Workforce.
Study after study has demonstrated that organizations with highly engaged and committed workforces outperform their counterparts. Focusing on building a high performance workforce makes good business sense because it drives higher quality and customer satisfaction, revenue growth, and company profitability.

What Great Leaders Do
By Barb Krantz Taylor
When the Gallup Organization published its groundbreaking book, “First, Break all the Rules,” statistical data and case studies explained for the first time the link between what great leaders do and the business results they achieve. And, what great leaders do is lead in ways that motivate their employees to excel. When employees experience a connection to their work, their team, and their organization, they will put forth the extra effort that leads to higher profits, increased customer satisfaction, and greater productivity.
For years, executive coaches have known that individuals who find a “fit” between who they are and what they do are motivated to excel in their work.

By Martha Carlson
As facilitator of The Exchange – A Forum for Women Leaders, I have the privilege of interacting with many professional women on topics relevant to the challenges they face as leaders and the nuances of what connects them to their work.
Women leaders from Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurial start-ups, and everything in between are asking questions. Questions about what uniquely motivates women to excel in their work, what engages them in their work today, and what steps they can take to become more engaged.

Getting the Most from all Generations
By Wendy Friede
As leaders we all struggle to find ways to get the best from our employees. When you add the different generational values and needs in your workforce, finding the most effective ways to motivate employees to excel becomes even more complex.
One common characteristic present in all generations is the desire to continue to learn and develop. Creating an environment where your employees can thrive becomes the objective. Employees are more likely to be productive and committed to the organization when the work environment is designed to help them achieve their best and enhance their knowledge and skills.
