Juice Check Engagement Tool Helps Avoid Employee Energy Crisis at Work
July 3 2006 - World rulers used to fight for land.
Today they fight for energy. Why? Because energy is the ability to get
work done. And in many ways, energy has become the currency of this
sped-up, stressed-out, spread-thin, but very exciting and stimulating era.
Companies today don't want just any energy from their employees - they
want intelligent energy marked by focus, flow, passion and purpose.
Think about your own personal energy level. Now put it together with the
energy levels of those you work with and it begins to produce
organizational energy.
To help measure how much energy is released in a work environment,
Brady Wilson and his team at Juice Inc. have spent three years researching
and developing a tool called The Juice Check(TM). Leaders can use this
same tool to uncover issues for an entire team or organization, enabling
them to create a healthy, high-performing culture where it feels good
to work and it's easier to get results. A confidential Team Juice Check
Report for up to 30 participants is available for $495.
"Here's where a culture filled with a kinetic buzz can really begin to
ignite smart behaviour and capture a leader's attention," says Wilson.
"People anticipate one another's needs and leverage one another's
efforts. Sustained results naturally follow."
Saint Elizabeth Health Care, a not-for-profit with a powerful vision
that puts patients in control and at the center of their own care, used
an organizational Juice Check for more than 100 managers to kick off a
two-day employee engagement workshop. Their goal was to use the tool to
provide a common framework for understanding one another so they could
unleash and sustain intelligent energy throughout the entire
organization. The process is ongoing and Saint Elizabeth Health Care's efforts
are producing results - the organization was recently recognized as one
of the 30 "Best Workplaces" in Canada.
"To reach the heights of phenomenal knowledge and care, we need all of
our staff to feel energized by their role and the environment they work
in," says Shirlee Sharkey, president and CEO. "The Juice Check is a
simple yet powerful tool that everyone can understand and use, from our
front-line staff to senior management. There is tremendous value from a
strategy and planning perspective, because your answers to engagement
issues can be found right in the questions."
You can measure your own personal energy level for free at

that uncovers 20 crucial areas that either contribute to an
individual's personal energy level, or that deplete it.
