In the wake of the Government\u2019s highly influential 2009 MacLeod Review, engagement has been hailed as one of the CIPD\u2019s new core competencies for HR professionals, and numerous consultancy firms offer engagement surveys and engagement-oriented interventions. An entire industry has sprung up offering guidance, advice and training on how to raise levels of engagement. However, academic research has lagged behind practitioner interest, and many unanswered questions remain about the status of employee engagement as a construct, how the purported link between engagement and performance works, and whether engagement can be managed.<\/p>\n<p>We were awarded funding by the ESRC to run a seminar series on the topic of employee engagement which will provide a long-awaited opportunity to bring together a group of international academics and experts in the field to debate and discuss the status of employee engagement today. The series of four events started at Kent University\u2019s Medway campus on 8th February 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Funding Agency: ESRC Date: 2011 &#8211; 2012 Project team: Professor Katie Truss, Kent Business School Dr Emma Soane, LSE Professor Rick Delbridge, Cardiff University Dr &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/2011\/02\/employee-engagement-organisational-performance-and-individual-wellbeing-exploring-the-evidence-developing-the-theory-2\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54944,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[125],"tags":[57671],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6817"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/54944"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6817"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6817\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6819,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6817\/revisions\/6819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kbs-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
