Improve employee retention, productivity, well-being, and health by creating a connected, human workplace Connectedness: How the Best Leaders Create Authentic Human Connection in a Disconnected World, by business journalist and management theorist Des Dearlove and Lisa Humphries is a singular discussion of how to create and maintain an environment of authentic human connection in your workplace that increases productivity, improves safety and health, encourages talent recruitment and retention, and creates an enduring competitive advantage. The authors discuss the most critical factors that determine the connectedness of a vibrant working culture. They also describe the most common mistakes that managers make when trying to transform and improve the working environment in their company, and the myths that many of us buy into around employee well-being and connection. You'll find case studies and examples that illustrate and highlight the potential real-world impact of the concepts discussed within, and why it's the nature of the interpersonal environment at your firm--not compensation levels--that largely decide whether your employees will stay or move on. An essential book for managers, executives, and directors, Connectedness is also a must-read for entrepreneurs, founders, human resources professionals, and anyone else interested in boosting your organization's bottom line.
