‘Of course we’ve been really good at disengaging our employees these lastyears. We’ve spent millions in consulting fees to find ways to cut ouremployees’ pensions and health benefits (now there’s disengagement for you) and then we say we want you to be part of our brand. We’ve fired thousandsof people after mergers and sell-offs and our websites proclaim that one ofour goals is to be an employer of choice. We’ve cut personal and professionaldevelopment programmes to the bone and then we expect our employees tobe up-to-speed and enthusiastic.’
Johnson, M. The New Rules of Engagement 2004 CIPD Enterprises cited here
