Aus dem Klappentext

Each employee within an organization puts forth discretionary EFFORT; they come to work with a choice of how much effort they are willing to give their company. An engaged employee is a person who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about, his or her work. These employees care about the future of the organization and feel a strong emotional bond to the business.

How can an organization create an environment that truly engages its employees in order for the company to flourish?
