How Enhancing the Lives of Hourly Workers Benefits Us All

While the vast majority of business books focus on the white-collar, salaried workforce, Hourly shines a light on the often-overlooked majority of the US workforce: the “invisible” hourly workers. Through research, firsthand experience, and contributions from industry experts, author AJ Richichi makes the case that businesses must work against outdated processes and introduce innovations that benefit workers’ lives, employers’ bottom lines, and the economy as a whole.

Richichi takes readers on an eye-opening journey with insights into the challenges facing the hourly workforce and how we can drive positive change that would ripple throughout society. He also shows that progress is being made, even though it might not seem like it, by sharing real-world examples of major companies that have achieved success by instituting perks and policies that support their employees in new ways. However, Richichi calls upon us all to come together and accelerate this progress if we really want to reach the ideal future of work. It begins simply by shifting our mindsets and seeing these critical hourly workers for how important they truly are.

Hourly teaches you about:

• The source of today’s labor challenges
• Why it seems so hard to find solutions
• What you can do to support hourly workers
• How to prepare for the future of work

…and so much more.

By the end of the book, readers will walk away with fresh perspectives and proven strategies on how to build stronger teams that feel seen, appreciated, and motivated to wake up every day and give their all to their company.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Even before COVID-19, the process for hiring hourly employees was fundamentally flawed. The pandemic simply exposed the cracks in a strained system that was on the verge of crumbling anyway. Reactionary “solutions” were rushed onto the market, but they created more problems than they solved. We've now reached an unprecedented crisis point.

In Hourly, author AJ Richichi outlines how widescale change is attainable, but only if we move past common misconceptions, acknowledge the severity of the problem, and consider alternative solutions. Solutions must improve the situation for hourly workers, ease the pressure on hiring managers, and benefit employers’ bottom lines.

The book includes a section of case studies from companies that have achieved positive results by instituting policies that humanize and support their hourly workers, like granting stock options, paying for college, or offering daily pay. These serve as prime examples of what businesses can do to improve their employees' lives while boosting profitability.

Hourly issues a clear call to action: businesses must view hourly staff as critical to their operations and invest in their well-being. It’s more than just the right thing to do. It makes good business sense as well. By implementing the book’s lessons, companies can build their own efficiency while supporting the hourly workforce powering our economy, creating a better future for all.
