Jon: Helpful to hear. We haven’t done the Q12 yet but I would like to soon. I’d love to hear more details on how the Q12 went and what you’ve learned through that. I might jot you a note to hear more.

Great post, Matt. We actually conducted the Gallup Q12 at our company recently to measure our employee engagement. This was a question that some people answered with a low score because they believe you can only have one “best” friend. Very interesting.
I agree with Rath and all of the stats. Those who have a best friend at work are our best, most engaged employees by far.
