WorldatWork Press Publishes Excellence at Work—The Six Keys to Inspire Passion in the Workplace Only 14% of employees are fully engaged on the job—willing and able to give sustained discretionary effort to help their organizations succeed—according to a 2006 study by Towers Perrin involving 86,000 workers in 16 countries. Not surprisingly, a 2007 WorldatWork survey of HR directors found that retaining a productive workforce is their topmost concern in 2007.
How can managers create a passionate workforce? A new book by WorldatWork Press titled Excellence at Work—The Six Keys to Inspire Passion in the Workplace provides some answers. Author Sandy Asch, principal of Alliance for Organizational Excellence, presents six simple yet powerful principles for creating a work environment in which employees proactively solve problems, bring out the best in each other, reignite their passion for their jobs, and have fun.
