this deceptively simple concept and makes concrete the process of
translating engagement into hard financial results."

scholarly insight and practical experience. This book is a valuable
addition to the literature."

"If you want to increase employee engagement to achieve your
organization's strategic objectives this is the book for you. It
deconstructs what engagement really means, explains what factors
shape it, shows how to diagnose your organization current state and
tell you what managerial levers you can use to increase it and
consequently raise organizational performance. This book is at once
scientifically sound and highly readable."

-Michael Beer, Harvard Business School

"No one knows more about Employee Engagement, in all its forms,

advice on using employee opinion surveys to measure and increase
employee engagement! "
