Engaging Teams: How to Use Social Wellbeing to Boost Performance, Retention and Culture (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781398619791)

Businesses are struggling with unprecedented levels of disengagement. According to Gallup, quiet-quitting costs organizations $8.9 trillion in lost productivity. Engaging Teams provides an effective solution to this problem.

Large US organizations spend about $11 million a year on wellbeing initiatives, with virtually none making any real difference. Full of extensive analysis of academic research, business data and C-suite insights, Engaging Teams demonstrates how individuals, teams, organizations and leaders can strengthen engagement and get the best from their people.

Offering practical guidance and actionable advice, this book provides a step-by-step path to tackling issues like leading through change, multigenerational communication and failures in critical thinking by building healthier and more successful team environments.

A blueprint for leaders and HR professionals, the book uses real-world examples from companies including NASA, Microsoft, Citigroup, Johnson & Johnson, Google, Lenovo, Ikea and Qantas to show the value of skills in agile thinking, emotional intelligence, ongoing feedback and problem-solving. Accessible, clear-sighted and far-reaching, Engaging Teams is essential reading for anyone looking to drive motivation, productivity, resilience and retention.
