Last week I republished a short piece on Scribd titled “Employee Engagement – How Would You Advise an Organisation to Improve it?”
It’s a simple piece co-created by many people who provided short, ideally one sentence answers to the question. David Marklew got in touch to offer a little more. He rewrote a Johnny Cash classic song and in turn, I couldn’t resist giving it a go. There are a lot of low notes in this song and I found it very difficult to sing and play, but hey – that’s not the point is it. I’m grateful to David for taking the time to write this and get in touch – I hope you like it.
I know engagement takes a bit of time
I’ll keep a close eye on this team of mine
I know that it’s so hard to keep in mind
So first of all – I’ll treat them fine
We’ve got to keep or common goals in sight
Standing by each other fight the fight
Together we can do things right
So first of all – I’ll treat them fine
Communication nothing here to hide
The way we do things here is our pride
We’ll get creative when we’re all inspired
So first of all – I’ll treat them fine
Recognise our fellow workers every time
Help them develop grow and reach their prime
And our performance will be so sublime
So first of all – I’ll treat them fine
