Connect with talent on a personal level to improve
organization-wide performance
Written by renowned talent development consultant Amy P.
Kelly, Work Is Personal: How Authenticity Drives Performance and
Culture dispels the notion that work is separated from employees'
personal lives and instead argues that employers must meet employees on a
personal level to earn their loyalty and increase their effectiveness and
productivity.
This book takes a deep dive into important employee
considerations in the modern world of work, including benefits, HR, and talent
development, providing key insights on the best way to approach the topics that
employees care about most. Real-life stories serve as examples of how each
facet of work can make or break an employee's relationship to an organization.
Practical guidelines are provided to help readers start applying concepts as
soon as today.
This book includes discussion on:
- Talent
acquisition and onboarding, performance management, and compensation
- Reward
and recognition and employee development
- Exit
interviews and employee alumni programming
Work Is Personal earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all
forward-thinking managers and business leaders seeking to better connect with
employees and improve organization-wide performance through a more personal
approach to talent management.
