Recommendation

Nearly 75% of employees don’t like their jobs. They don’t work hard at them or care about their customers. The result is no surprise: companies with disengaged employees don’t do as well as firms with employees who are engaged. But what can you do if your staff members tune out? HR experts Debra Corey and Glenn Elliott offer a “rebel playbook” that shakes up the status quo. They include numerous “plays” – mini-case histories showing how companies with great engagement connect with employees. Corey and Elliott outline a 10-step “Engagement Bridge Model” as a strategy for turning things around. They urge you to address workspaces, employee well-being, remuneration, communication, meaning, leadership, management, “job design,” learning and recognition. And they tell you how. getAbstract recommends their methods to anyone who exercises organizational authority.

Research that multiple organizations conduct – including Gallup, Great Place to Work, Best Companies and Glassdoor – establishes the correlation between superior business results and employee engagement.

These stores experience “25% less staff absence” than firms in the bottom 25% in employee engagement. Stores with the most engaged employees deliver the best customer service...
