Never Lose An Employee Again
  • In his book Joey talks about eight phases of engagement between employees and organizations. Remarkably, engagement starts right from when the employee starts assessing an organization, and that happens much earlier than the first day of work. By the time the employee arrives to work, they are already on the fourth phase.
  • It is dollars saved when employee retention is higher. This is true for so many reasons. So, companies must strive to provide ’employee experience’ in the same manner as they strive to deliver ‘customer experience’. Companies which place their employees as priority also seem to do well on measures of customer experience.
  • Employees do want to be paid, but that is not their main goal. Their main goal is a quality of life, and companies must pay attention to the goals of their employees, help them achieve these, and celebrate their successes. The book uses case studies of extraordinary organizations from across the world— all seven continents, to show how they achieved outstanding results in employee experience.
