Kevin Sheridan Joins Senior Advisory Team of the Engagement Agency

An internationally recognized keynote speaker, a New York Times best-selling author, and a sought-after voice on the topic of employee engagement, Kevin Sheridan will provide advisory services to the Engagement Agency -- an advisory and managed outsourcing service specifically focusing on the implementation of human capital management, reporting, and ROI of engagement to support Stakeholder Capitalism implementation.

The Need for a Strategic Approach
A Pioneer in Employee Engagement

With a newsletter circulation of 75,000 and nearly 30,000 social media followers, Kevin Sheridan has built an engaged community of management around the world seeking better ways to achieve organizational goals through people. As a Senior Advisor to the Engagement Agency, he provides his expertise to EA clients seeking the effective implementation of employee engagement by connecting appropriate assessment and feedback tools to formal, measurable strategies.

Sheridan is a frequent speaker and has presented his work at dozens of national and international conventions, including Harvard Business School, the American Hospital Association, and Talent Management Online. His services include executive coaching to help executives learn the new people management skills they will need to achieve their full potential and develop an in-depth action plan to increase performance, resiliency, and adaptability through people.

The Need for a Strategic Approach

Explains Sheridan, “We have been talking about employee engagement for over a decade, and it’s clear little has changed. Despite huge investments in internal branding and culture, surveys and assessment, communications, incentives, recognition, and so much more, average engagement stores haven’t budged among both employees and managers, according to Gallup employee engagement surveys. The Engagement Agency is based on the principles that organizations need a strategic and systematic approach that addresses all the key stakeholders and aligns and better measures all the tactics used to engage people. I am happy to support the needs of its clients.”

According to Bruce Bolger, EEA founder, The Engagement Agency is assembling a growing community of experts in all areas of human capital management, reporting, and ROI of engagement, to provide organizations of all sizes access to solution providers who understand the need to have a strategic, systematic, and aligned approach. EA’s services include assistance with strategic or tactical implementation of Enterprise Engagement to support the implementation of Stakeholder Capitalism principles, including the creation of human capital reporting strategies and Corporate Responsibility Reports, ROI-based process design, and managed outsourcing of engagement technology and other solutions. The Engagement Agency helps ensure the application of a strategic and aligned approach to the application of various engagement products and services.

The Engagement Agency is a division of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance, a leading outreach and education group supporting a formal implementation process for Enterprise Engagement.

A Pioneer in Employee Engagement

Says Bolger, “Sheridan is an expert employee engagement consultant with extensive experience leading organizations around the world, so he brings to our clients the real-time challenges required by a stakeholder approach to engagement. His experience creating and then later selling his own employee engagement assessment company and technology, along with partnering with HR, managers, and CEOs will be uniquely valuable to help them bridge the gap from where they are to where they need to go. Whether working in small team settings or presenting in front of entire organizations, Sheridan offers personalized and passionate support to address the unique needs and concerns of each organization.”

For five years running, Sheridan has been honored on Inc. magazine’s top 101 Leadership Speakers in the world, as well as Inc.’s top 101 experts on employee engagement. He was named to The Employee Engagement Award’s Top 100 Global Influencers on Employee Engagement for three consecutive years, as well as being designated as a Senior Fellow at The Conference Board. Having spent 30 years as a high-level Human Capital Management consultant, Sheridan has helped some of the world’s largest corporations rebuild a culture that fosters productive engagement, earning him several distinctive awards and honors.

Sheridan’s premier assessment platform, PEER®, has been consistently recognized as a long-overdue, industry-changing innovation in the field of employee engagement. His first book, Building a Magnetic Culture, made six of the best seller lists including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. He is also the author of The Virtual Manager, which explores how to effectively manage remote workers.
