Important messages even in tougher times,
This review is from: Becoming an Employer of Choice: Make Your Organization a Place Where People Want to Do Great Work (Paperback)
This book was written a couple of years ago when the economy was booming and being seen as an employer of choice was pretty much essential if you wanted anyone to apply for a job (I remember a friend telling me in 2003 that she had had only one application for a job they'd advertised - how things change).
But don't be fooled into thinking that just because the employment market isn't quite the seller's market it was a few years ago you don't need this book: 1 I remember in the mid 1990s suffering an MD who insisted on coming down hard on employees on the basis that they would be unlikely to walk - only to see staff turnover quadruple as soon as the economy picked up - people have long memories. 2 Even more importantly - the link between employee engagement and performance is undeniable - if your market is getting tougher you need your employees to be committed to you even more than you do in boom. This book - and the author's follow up - (the much more reasonably priced) Inspirational Manager - should be compulsory reading in your organization. The author writes with an easy to read conversational style that any manager should find engaging - the messages are essential if you want your business/hospital/school/whatever to be functioning at the top of your game. Highly recommended.

Change the way things are done around here,

This review is from: Becoming an Employer of Choice: Make Your Organization a Place Where People Want to Do Great Work (Paperback)
The "Employer of Choice" title was (may be still is) a trendy buzz phrase for HR people a few years ago but this book is about so much more. The sub-title explains it better "Make your organisation a place where people want to do great work".
Look around your office now and ask yourself if you're working somewhere like that. If not you need to change the "way we do things around here". The book is great - it helps you realise what needs to be done and gives you ready made arguments to convince those misearable stick in the mud colleagues that they need to change as well. Like all good business books the principal idea is very simple - but also not very easy. Basically it's all about being decent and honest and if that sounds touchey feely and soft then you really need to read this book - it's at its best when its talking about dealing with underperformance and the hard things that need to be done to make your organisation a better place. If you can start using the ideas in this book your team/department/organisation will start to become a place where people can do their best work and as a result its performance will improve. Easy to read, inspiring and strong. Brilliant.
