We: How to Increase Performance and Profits Through Full Engagement
We live in a new era where work and life are blended as opposed to balanced, entitlements are a thing of the past, and job satisfaction is at a record low. This is a crisis for individuals because negative emotions at work spill over to our personal lives and cross over to those around us. Research shows that disengaged employees weigh five pounds more, have an elevated risk of heart attack, experience less marital intimacy and have children who are more likely to misbehave at school. For businesses, disengaged employees lead to lower levels of productivity and service and it’s been shown that companies with disengaged workers have five times lower shareholder returns than those companies with the most engaged workers.
In We: How to Increase Performance and Profits Through Full Engagement, authors Rudy Karsan, CEO of Kenexa and Kevin Kruse dig deep to reveal the nature of work in the modern organization and share secrets to achieving emotional buy-in and commitment at work. Based on findings from over 10 million worker surveys in 150 countries, and on their own experience as award-winning leaders of fast-growing companies, Karsan and Kruse highlight the three most common factors that drive engagement:
- Growth: We need to feel that we are advancing in our careers or are learning new things.
- Recognition: We need to feel appreciated and believe that our ideas count.
- Trust: We need to trust our senior leaders and feel confident about the future.
