From the Back Cover

WHAT IF WORK COULD BE BETTER?
How to make the workplace work for everyone

In the wake of a global pandemic and the "Great Resignation," workplaces have been turned upside down. Companies are grappling with how to maintain productivity, attract (and retain) top talent, and keep pace with technological advances. In the face of so much change, many leaders find themselves hesitant -- or resistant -- to walk away from the rules which have dominated the workplace for a century.

But what if those rules are no longer effective? What if we have entered a new Industrial Revolution where the successful workplace is being redefined?

In The New Work Exchange(TM), Scott Cawood presents a revolutionary philosophy for today's thriving workplace -- one where the primary stakeholders are people and where flexibility is king. In the paradigm shift from Work-Life Balance to Work-Life Integration, a new work currency has emerged -- one which builds better people, better companies, and a better world.

Whether you are a C-level executive, a Human Resources professional, or a human seeking fulfillment in your work, The New Work Exchange(TM) signals a time to embrace a radical re-alignment of how, when, and why we work -- as well as what we produce. It's time to make work better.
