THE GREAT WORKPLACE
Home » The Great Workplace
This seminal book explores the concept of a great workplace and answers the fundamental question: What is the business value of creating a great workplace? How do you build it? How do you keep it? Why does it matter?
The book provides practical tips for organisation leaders and brings the definition of a great workplace alive with anecdotes, best practices and quotations from employees working at some of the world’s best workplaces, including Google, Microsoft, Marriott International, FedEx, NetApp, Deloitte, and more.
WHAT SEPARATES A GREAT COMPANY FROM A MERELY GOOD ONE?
Great Place to Work® Institute insiders Jennifer Robin and Michael Burchell explore the concept of a great workplace. They demonstrate that, more than offering great pay and quirky perks, a great workplace is one where employees trust the people they work for, take pride in what they do, and enjoy the people they work with. Drawing on decades of Great Place to Work research, the authors explain how leaders and managers can create and reinforce the core values of trust, pride, and camaraderie with every communication, every decision, and every interaction. If your company is struggling with the challenges of leveraging human capital, discover why some organisations have what it takes to be great—and what your company can learn from them.
