Publisher's Synopsis
We live in unprecedented times and the year 2020 has brought about irreversible changes across the globe. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is the importance of well-being in all aspects of our lives and work. As we get back to the 'new normal', it is imperative to re-visit our organizational policies towards our people. The future of work is set to look very different from the present. A myriad factors will shape this future, including economic undercurrents, developments in technology, prevalent health concerns, changes in the physical office design, advances in data and artificial intelligence and remote working preferences. Organizations that truly care about employee welfare, engagement and happiness will stand out. What exactly does great employee engagement comprise of? How can we best contribute to employee happiness? How does this related with productivity? What data do we have to understand employee engagement better? What tools and techniques can we use to track initiatives by our HR teams? In the context of a new future of work, what implications do we expect for employee engagement and happiness? I have compiled one hundred of my best LinkedIn posts on the subject in the form of this book to inspire you and your organization to revisit your employee engagement strategy and to chart out its future. These posts are a series of reflections on employee engagement and happiness from my readings of prevalent thought leadership and studies published around the world. For easier reference, I have categorised these reflections into five sections: (1) The importance of employee engagement in the workplace (2) Insights from supporting data on employee engagement(3) Methods to increase employee engagement (4) Methods to measure and evaluate engagement initiatives (5) The future of employee engagement and happinessI hope this collection inspires you and your organization on your journey to build a better world for your employees.
