Book excerpt: The current way of treating people at work has failed. Globally, only 30% of employees are engaged in their jobs, and in this fast-paced world that's just not enough. The world's best companies understand this, and have been quietly treating people differently for nearly two decades. Now you can learn their secrets and discover The Engagement BridgeTM model, proven to build bottom line value for companies through sustainable employee engagement. Companies with the best cultures generate stock market returns of twice the general market and enjoy half the employee turnover of their peers. Their staff innovate more, deliver better customer service and, hands-down, beat the competition. These companies outperform and disrupt their markets. They break the rules of traditional HR, they rebel against the status quo. Build it has found these rebels and the rulebreakers. From small startups to global powerhouses, this book shows that courage, commitment, and a people-centric mindset, rather than money and resources, are what you need to turn an average business into a category leader. The book follows the clear and proven Engagement BridgeTM model, developed from working with thousands of leading companies worldwide on their own employee engagement journeys. The practical model highlights the areas that leaders need to examine in order to build a highly engaged company culture and provides a framework for success. Build it is packed with tips, tools and real-life examples from employers including NASDAQ, Unilever, IBM, KPMG, 3M, and McDonald's to help you start doing this not tomorrow, but today. Readers will learn: How employee engagement helps companies perform The key factors that drive engagement, and how they work together What the world's most rebellious companies have done to break the rules of traditional HR and improve engagement How to implement The Engagement BridgeTM model to boost productivity, innovation, and better decision-making Unique in this category, Build it is written from two sharply different perspectives.

Download or read book Green Goldfish 2 written by Lauren McGhee and published by 9 Inch Marketing. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlocking the 15 Keys to Employee Engagement Green Goldfish 2.0 is based on the simple premise that employees are the key drivers of customer experience and that "Happy Employees Create Happy Customers." The book focuses on 15 different ways to drive employee engagement and reinforce a strong corporate culture. The book is based on the findings of the Green Goldfish Project, an effort which crowdsourced over 1,001 examples of signature added value for employees. Key themes emerged from the Project and the book is filled with over 200 examples. Creating Green Goldfish in your organization provides three benefits: 1. Differentiation - Doing little extras provide a tangible way to stand out in a sea of sameness. The little extra gives the company a "remark"able difference or set of signature differences. 2. Retention - If you keep employees happy, they tend to stick around longer. 3. Word of mouth - By creating a culture that attracts talent, you can become a desired place to work. The result is that you'll get more "A" players. The book is broken into three main sections: Section I: Here we outline the "Why" This part of our book explores the reasons for focusing on engagement and where the metaphor of a Goldfish originated. Section II: This is where we explore the "Ingredients" We'll uncover the five R.U.L.E.S. for creating a Green Goldfish: Relevant, Unexpected, Limited, Expressive and Sticky. Section III: The "What" Here we share the 15 different types of Green Goldfish and the categories they fall under: the three B's: Building, Belonging, and Becoming. Praise for Green Goldfish 2.0: "So often overlooked, and so very vital to building company value... empowering employees to support each other and the brand. Green Goldfish 2.0 will walk you step-by-step through achieving this critical goal." - TED RUBIN, AUTHOR OF RETURN ON RELATIONSHIP "Green Goldfish 2.0 shows how to manage employees by commitment and not control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling author and business guru tells how to improve your job satisfaction and performance. In his sixth fable, bestselling author Patrick Lencioni takes on a topic that almost everyone can relate to: the causes of a miserable job. Millions of workers, even those who have carefully chosen careers based on true passions and interests, dread going to work, suffering each day as they trudge to jobs that make them cynical, weary, and frustrated. It is a simple fact of business life that any job, from investment banker to dishwasher, can become miserable.

As with all of Lencioni?s books, this one is filled with actionable advice you can put into effect immediately. In addition to the fable, the book includes a detailed model examining the three signs of job misery and how they can be remedied. It covers the benefits of managing for job fulfillment within organizations -- increased productivity, greater retention, and competitive advantage -- and offers examples of how managers can use the applications in the book to deal with specific jobs and situations.

Clark goes where no one has gone before. One of today’s leading experts on the subject, Clark reveals that the business world has been focusing on only half the question—namely, the organization’s role in driving employee engagement. Clark points to the other interested party—the employee. Through extensive research, the author has discovered that approximately 75 percent of employees are not fully engaged with their work—a frighteningly high number with frighteningly dire consequences for both companies and individual employees. The Employee Engagement Mindset is a step-by-step guide to reversing this pattern, one employee at a time. Clark breaks it all down into six key behaviors: Connecting: Form solid relationships with coworkers and align your behavior to the organization’s culture and goals Shaping: Seize opportunities for tailoring experiences based on your personal preferences Learning: Take proactive measures to learn at or above the speed of change Stretching: Move out of your comfort zone and take calculated risks Achieving: Accomplish your goals Contributing: Make personal contributions that drive lasting positive change to others and to the company The Employee Engagement Mindset provides practical advice on how any employee can put him or herself on the fast track to true engagement using this six-part model. Simply put, every engaged employee is worth his or her weight in gold. Whether you’re in charge of driving employee engagement or feel the need to take personal responsibility for excelling at work, The Employee Engagement Mindset tells you everything you need to know. "Clark and his team discovered some surprising truths about highly engaged people that cross cultural, demographic, and industry lines. The Employee Engagement Mindset unlocks the door to our own personal and professional connectedness."—Marshall Goldsmith, author of the New York Times bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There "[The Employee Engagement Mindset ] lays out in clear, practical terms how highly engaged people think and what they do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '42Rules of Employee Engagement (2nd Edition)' was born out of need for dcorporations, leaders and managers to engage with employees. Depending on whose research you read, as much as three quarters of the global workforce were not engaged! How long could organizations continue down this path and thrive or survive? As overwhelming as these data seem, Susan Stamm began to recognize the solutions are simple and within our reach. Engagement begins and ends with leaders and their day to day actions. It's the little things that make the big difference: how much information the leaders shares, how they approach important conversations, how much control they need, and how well they listen. An organization can be a best place to work, yet have a team no one wants to work on. The reverse is also true and it is almost always related to the leader. A challenge is that leaders often have blind spots, especially leaders that are struggling with their teams. This book include stories that leaders can relate to and that might open the door for them to consider how their actions appear to others. The best way to use this book is as a conversation starter. Take it to lunch with colleagues and discuss a single rule and the implications for your teams. These rules are actionable; when there is a challenge, there is always a specific action or direction recommended for dealing with it. In addition to the actions offered at the end of each rule, Appendix C provides links to more than two full years of free employee engagement activities and tools. If you want better engagement at your company, you should pick up '42Rules of Employee Engagement (2nd Edition)' today.
