Go Beyond

Book excerpt: When Gallups Global Workforce Study was released, we found out that only 13 percent of people in 143 countries reported being engaged in their work and 24 percent reported being actively disengaged. Some might ask what this does to workplace productivity, but a more important question to ask is this: What does it do to the quality of work life for millions of employees? Go Beyond seeks to solve both problems that human resources professionals face. It starts with the premise that all related functions and departments need to coordinate in providing people support. The book will help you: recruit the best people to work for your organization; keep staff engaged with their work; overcome challenges associated with change; and cultivate a workplace culture where excellence can thrive. The authors also address the growing importance of HR analytics and how interpreting data can provide the insights needed to make sound business decisions. Make employees a priority and achieve better results for them, yourself, and your organization with the insights and best practices in Go Beyond.
