What's new in this edition:
Every chapter has been updated, expanded, or revised in some
way. New stories and new statistics punctuate the key points
throughout. The engagement and retention connection is made
explicit in this edition. If you don't have a retention challenge
in your organization, you can use the A-Z strategies to better
engage your employees — to get them excited about their
work and producing at their peak. The Quick-Start Guide in
the back of the book will give busy managers new ways to "dive
in" to the book, to get a quick overview of the 26 engagement
and retention strategies, and to apply them immediately in
innovative ways.
“...we have entered into the era of the
employee. If the era lasts it will be because of books like
this one from authors Kaye and Jordan-Evans, a couple of independent
types who have come up with quite a nice little compendium
of terrifically practical tips, advice, admonition and just
plain fun ideas to ensure that your best and brightest don’t
take a hike... Maybe, just maybe, this wonderfully useful
and beautifully designed volume will, in the long run, be
the death knell to micromanagement.”
Training Magazine
“This is a great book…it goes after the biases
and assumptions that keep managers from recruiting and retaining
the best people.”
Boston Globe
“This best-seller gives everyone from CEO to front-line
supervisor solutions for keeping the employees they simply
can’t afford to lose.”
Business First
(chosen for top-ten book list in December 2004)
“This book captures some of the key reasons that employees
either remain with an organization or leave, and presents
examples and practical ideas to work on addressing these issues.”
