Employee engagement is about human relationships not human resources - Interview with Luis Suarez of IBM

Today’s interview is with Luis Suarez @elsua, a leading thinker, Knowledge Manager, Community Builder and Social Software Evangelist for IBM. He agreed to talk to me about employee engagement following a Twitter exchange after I recently published Sustaining businesses successfully through Employee Engagement on the blog. I warn you that it is a longer interview than normal but it's worth it and you should take the time to listen to it as there is some great, useful and insightful stuff in there from Luis. This interview follows on from my recent interview: Helping customers, standing out, being human and telling stories through blogging – Interview with Mark Schaefer – and is number sixty-nine in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things and helping businesses innovate, become more social and deliver better service.

An ongoing series of interviews where I, Adrian Swinscoe, interview leading entrepreneurs, leaders and thought leaders about how to deliver stand out customer experience and service. Essentially, I'm looking for practical clues that will help you build a business that both customers and employees love. Topics covered in the interviews include customer service, experience and engagement, employee experience and engagement, technology, adaptable and responsive organizations, high-performing teams and all such related issues. Note: This podcast series was originally known as the RARE Business podcast but rebranded in late 2019 on the back of the publication of my book: Punk CX.
