From the Back Cover

Did you receive your employee engagement score? If you're like most managers, the results are nothing to brag about. For more than a decade, engagement scores have stalled in the low 30-percent range and nothing seems to budge them. Not employee-of-the-month awards. Not company parties. Not even financial perks designed to improve morale.

That's because programs are never motivating. Only people have the power to reignite commitment and inspire employees to give their best efforts. Connecting with your staff and building positive relationships are what counts--even when the larger company culture falls flat.

Raise Your Team's Employee Engagement Score helps managers take control of the problem and achieve the benefits of a more engaged workforce: greater profitability, productivity, customer satisfaction, quality, safety, turnover, and more.

Packed with advice, exercises, and research findings, the book shows how to:

- Build a foundation of trust with the team

- Use stay interviews to find out what employees really want

- Help people continually learn, stretch, and advance their careers

- Show employees how to tap company benefits and opportunities

- Hire people who will self-motivate

- Measure progress and forecast future engagement, and more.

Gallup polls show that the vast majority of employees are sleepwalking or worse--sabotaging. Turn the problem around with empowering, no-cost management practices that lift engagement scores and drive results.
