Job markets are currently skewed in favour of employees. How do you attract and keep people when they have many options to move? What's going to make you stand out as an employer?
Money and perks?
Up to a point. But what really distinguishes employers of choice is how much their employees are 'into' the business.
Sure, external rewards help (for a price). But here's the crucial fact so often overlooked: human motivation is intrinsic.
The way the best companies engage their people is not through trinkets and baubles. You have to get people involved in whatever is intrinsically interesting in your business.
This book is chock full of ways to do that. It shows you how to create a level of engagement and tap into motivation beyond what you thought possible. The proven techniques work all around the world, they're inexpensive, and they release incredible energy.

Rooney Anand // Former CEO of Greene King Plc; Senior Independent Director, Morrisons plc

The world has changed....
It is really easy to be commoditized as an employer. When that happens, it looks like it all comes down to salary. Of course salary is important, but it's only one component of the value to an employee.
