In On Fire at Work, veteran workplace researcher Eric Chester explains why and how a company’s culture is the determining factor in attracting, developing, and retaining high-quality employees. Companies voted as “best places to work” are achieving this designation by supporting seven cultural pillars: compensation, alignment, atmosphere, growth, acknowledgment, communication, and autonomy. On Fire at Work provides a roadmap for company executives to follow in establishing a culture that not only retains great employees, but also elicits their best performances, keeping them engaged and happy at work.
The rapid aging of the American workforce, together with other demographic trends, means that the competition to attract and retain top employees is fiercer than ever before. But smart companies recognize that there is vast untapped potential in the talent pool of the special needs population. In Dive In, disability experts and consultants Nadine Vogel and Cindy Brown explain how to recruit, train, accommodate, and support both adults with disabilities and those who have children or family members with special needs—without burdensome expenditures or disruption. Most importantly, the authors reveal the reasons why these employees stand out for their productivity, creativity, and loyalty.
