There’s a company called Virtuali that helps companies ‘develop and retain millennial leaders,’ which is a phrase that might cause a Boomer to leap through a glass window. One of their co-founders just wrote an article for Harvard Business Review on ‘the two sides of employee engagement,’ and it’s pretty interesting. Before we get to a central takeaway, let’s talk about the how of them working with leaders and organizations.

They work along two prisms — employee perception and self-reported behaviors.

In terms of employee perception, here are the six areas they track:

  • Culture
  • Job Function
  • Advancement
  • Company Leadership
  • Management
  • Total Rewards

Seems logical so far. I’ve mentioned a bit about Total Rewards so far too.

In terms of self-reported behaviors, here’s what they look at:

  • Level of effort
  • Personal development
  • Company loyalty
  • Recreation
  • Relationships
  • Temperament

I write about a lot of different topics, from work to masculinity to relationships and social dynamics, I.e. modern friendship. Pleasure to be here.
