Business success depends on employee innovation, drive, skill, endurance, and dedication. "Engaged employees," studies show, provide tangible advantages to the organization and its bottom line: greater customer satisfaction, reduced turnover, higher productivity, improved profitability, better safety results, and higher stock prices. In contrast, the Gallup Organization has discovered that disengaged workers cost U.S. businesses between $250 billion and $350 billion each year. How do you engage employees and, in turn, create the high-performance organization? That's what this three-volume set is all about. From the latest theories on motivation to innovations in HR to methods to increased employee retention, it provides the essential insights and tools managers, leaders, and HR people need to find new ways to succeed - while keeping employees happy, productive, and loyal.Employees know that cradle-to-grave - or even week-to-week - employment security is a thing of the past, and that they are at the helm of their own career ship. Discerning consumers in the employment marketplace, they therefore seek employment opportunities that speak not only to their wallets and life circumstances, but also to their desire to find work that provides purpose and passion. How can employers meet these needs and create a team of engaged employees? Leaders and managers will find answers in these three volumes. They feature articles, interviews, and reports from academics, psychologists, managers in the practical corporate world, and experts in career management.The topics covered include: theories and practices driving the development of the modern employment relationship; career management and the balance of personal and professional goals; finding and retaining the best employees; creating workplace cultures that inspire employees to do their best work; principles and practices that can be used by companies of all sizes, in all sectors, and in all parts of the world. The set features an all-star cast of contributors from corporate leadership, academia, practice, and consulting; and special elements include interviews with business leaders and many "best practice" examples.
