Brilliant video. This is so useful for HRs out there to understand and demonstrate the true meaning of employee engagement, not just about retaining employees but keeping them happy, motivated and moving with the firm's objectives.

The key to any business's success is to have great group cohesion between your employees. This will reflect to the outside world. Awesome video. Thank you!

[melodytomlinson]

This remains the best Employee Engagement video on the web, by far.

Bob, I saw your video today at CAPIO, and it was possibly the most effective tool in the entire conference experience.  The data is undeniable, and the message clear.  Thanks for uncovering the possibilities for every company and agency out there.  I'm motivated.

A great video outlining the importance on engagement and having experienced this in a number of organisations.

Well presented Bob; very useful. Employee engagement level I think is directly proportional to the length and depth of the vision of organizations AND its managers.

I shared this video with the Sr. Leaders of our firm today. Thank you Bob!

[hashbrown]

Good one Bob, insightful, crisp and very well made video, ROCK ON!

[berms]

Very inspirational video Bob and very telling as well. Success can only be achieved if employee and employer are working together. Thanks!

[scorpiojun]

Fantastic video. Pretty much summed things up in class for me regarding employee engagement and job satisfaction.

[sarahsmith]

Saw you at SHRM.  This is really inspiring.  I'm going to show this video to my team and I'm hoping it does for them even a fraction of what the speech did for my creativity.  Thank you!

[VillaraBuild]

Beautiful video. This a great way to help everyone see the true need for happy employees. I am of the belief that this is the one thing holding America back. We need to BE the world we have been striving for.

[shahrulzamanrahman]

It's really good video, I would like to share. Thanks a lot Bob.

[peeps]

just saw this for the 1st time. loved it. i thanked my boss for showing me the video.

[ErikPearson]

Is it bad that I find the music far more inspirational than the words? XD

[maureenoconnell]

Nice video. Insightful information shared here.

[GaryHicks]

Just because I'm, over 44 does not mean I'm not (or less) creative. I don't like implication, intended or not, that says i'm not creative and should be replaced by someone younger. INCORRECT thinking of this type is why older people with a wealth of knowledge are not hired and frankly are discriminated against.

Hi Bob, last day I've attend to nuskin workshop and and I seen your video thats Excellent, thank you for sharing
