Download or read book Closing the Engagement Gap written by Julie Gebauer and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people are truly engaged in their work they give more discretionary effort' and make a huge difference to their company. They ask, 'What's in it for us?' instead of 'What's in it for me?'. Yet an engaged workforce is as rare as it is valuable. This groundbreaking global study shows that most people are not engaged and don't contribute as much value as they could - not because they're lazy, but because their managers don't know how to draw the best out of them. Using real-world examples, the authors show that consistently better engagement really is possible.'
