Engaging Teams

Use this practical guide to Improve employee engagement and drive motivation, productivity, staff retention and performance in the organization

Businesses are struggling with unprecedented levels of disengagement. According to Gallup, quiet-quitting costs organizations $8.9 trillion in lost productivity. Engaging Teams provides an effective solution to this problem. Large US organizations spend about $11 million a year on wellbeing initiatives, with virtually none making any real difference. Full of extensive analysis of academic research, business data and C-suite insights, Engaging Teams demonstrates how individuals, teams, organizations and leaders can strengthen engagement and get the best from their people. Offering practical guidance and actionable advice, this book provides a step-by-step path to tackling issues like leading through change, multigenerational communication and failures in critical thinking by building healthier and more successful team environments. A blueprint for leaders and HR professionals, the book uses real-world examples from companies including NASA, Microsoft, Citigroup, Johnson & Johnson, Google, Lenovo, Ikea and Qantas to show the value of skills in agile thinking, emotional intelligence, ongoing feedback and problem-solving. Accessible, clear-sighted and far-reaching, Engaging Teams is essential reading for anyone looking to drive motivation, productivity, resilience and retention.

Contains real-world examples from global companies including NASA, Microsoft, Sony, Blackrock, Nomura and HSBC (Middle East)
