Is Employee Engagement out and Employee Fulfilment in?

About this episode

This episode explores the shift from employee engagement to employee fulfilment as the new standard in the workplace.

On this episode of Sparks, we're exploring a topic that's shaping the future of work: employee fulfilment. This week, Milly is joined by Grace French, where they challenge the old standard of "employee engagement" and unpack why fulfilment is the new gold standard. They explore the biggest misconceptions leaders have, the power of being intentional, and who is doing it right. Tune in to find out if fulfilment is another buzzword or the blueprint for success, and hear our advice for both managers and employees on how to drive real, lasting change.Connect with us on LinkedInMilly Gladstone https://www.linkedin.com/in/milly-gladstone/Grace French https://www.linkedin.com/in/graceelizabethfrench/?originalSubdomain=ukSee what we do best:https://www.cegos.uk/Want to spark something with us?info@cegos.uk00.00 Welcome to sparks02:49 Employee engagement used to be the gold standard06:21 how do you measure fulfilment?09:09 What are some of the biggest misconceptions leaders have?16:28 Who’s doing employee fulfilment well?23:11 Do you think employee fulfilment is a manager’s responsibility?30:21 Is there risk of it becoming a buzzword?35:19 Advice to managers36:19 Advice to…
