| Summary |
"Step-by-step strategies that harness proven psychology to prime positive emotions and elevate organizational engagement Our efforts to increase employee engagement are failing because employees simply aren't motivated to improve their engagement. Eric Karpinski, shares the key to effectively engage employees: focus on happiness. But not all types of happiness drive engagement; by selecting specific strategies that activate employees' inherent motivation for certain types of happiness, you can simultaneously boost engagement and organizational performance. Everybody wins. In Put Happiness to Work, Karpinski draws on his deep experience at the intersection of business and psychology to lay out seven strategies to enhance engagement and generate happiness at work. These dynamic yet simple strategies will hardwire simple yet effective changes into your team's everyday work, creating long-term, sustainable engagement. Based on more than 10 years of experience applying top positive psychology and neuroscience research in the workplace, Karpinski's strategies are easy to implement and are critical to unlocking the kind of engagement organizations need to thrive"-- Provided by publisher. |
