		<description><![CDATA[While it is true that initial bonds are formed with one&#039;s manager or work group, the maximum effect of employee engagement will not be felt unless it is driven by Senior Management. An individual business unit will benefit from a localized push to engaging the employee but a dynamic push, led by senior management will create a cultural transformation.

Too often, companies try to move the accountability of engaging employees to HR or the local manager/work group. This leaves the success rate entirely in the hands of your least experienced management. If they are not engaged, the employees may become engaged with the wrong values.

A coordinated effort, top down, bottom up, is the best activity as it will drive significant change in the organization.]]></description>
