    Seeing Heartland leading the way on the diversity front they should lead the way in NZ with real employee engagement as well.

    In Britain there shortly will be ‘comply or explain’ rules in the UK Corporate Governance Code, that we see listed companies introduce ‘a designated non-executive director’ responsible for employee engagement or a director from the workforce.

    Evidence shows employee engagement increases if they have a say in the way the company is run which leads to much improved company performance.

    Great initiative - heartland could lead way with this in NZ

    Thank goodness Heartland do not operate in Britian.
    I think you should remember Heartland only have a staff of 360. .
    All you ideas would most probably mean they would have to take on another 360 .
    Time for you to clear you head taking a walk, to water the Rata you planted.I know I am doing well,but did the other one survive?

    Rata doing fine ...other one doing fine as well as exclusion is not part of winners care policy

    Is any CEO worth more than 65 times what some employees get paid?

    Well Mark Waller at Ebos certainly was.
    Mark Adamson at FBU was not.
    Two very different Marks.!

    Yes, plenty of room for improvement in New Zealand with employee engagement and getting Boards/top management to listen to employees as these two examples show. It would lead to improved business performance. Enough of the arrogant, we know best attitude from Boards/management.

    Waikato DHB chief executive quits. Murray's resignation was announced at a closed-door board meeting early on Thursday and follows a two-and-a-half-month investigation into allegations of unauthorised spending.

    Crucially, the MOT documents show that Joanne Harrison was not some sophisticated operator capable of bewitching and beguiling honest and astute civil servants. She was a brassy and clumsy fraudster who got spotted really early – three years before any action was taken at the top. She was spotted early by people who then subsequently suffered at the hands of Harrison.

    An engaged employee delivers what the employer has hired him/her to do. In return they get paid. A fair days pay for a fair days work. Simple as that really.

    Employee engagement an excellent job creation programme for people devising questionnaires, running surveys, analysing results and making recommendations until the next round of survey which will be tweaked and a new set of results delivered.

    The best investment HBL can make in Employee engagement is saying "thankyou" to their staff from time to time.

    (and a Little off topic - if you look at eh Health Board and government department you will find they are swimming in "Diversity" "Equality" "Te Reo" "Staff Engagement" policies and look where that got them - people hired on wrong assumptions))
