Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. While some of today's workforce is made up of deep-rooted, dependable staff, a larger portion of roles are transitioning into revolving doors of employee turnover. This impacts levels of customer service, productivity and profitability. The only way for organizations to successfully and sustainably face the new realities of today's workforce and the evolution of employee expectations is through a deep understanding of how to effectively hire and manage shorter-term workers who have a different view of the workplace. This insightful, breakthrough book by Cara Silletto and contributing author Leah Brown is designed to help leaders at all levels discover exactly how our workforce has changed over time, why employers are struggling to keep talent and how to gain better staffing stability. Business leaders know the workforce is changing, yet management strategies have been slow to respond to evolving employee expectations. In a world where employers are fighting to get newer staff to adhere to traditional standards, Staying Power explains how employees and candidates have an advantage over managers and supervisors with greater tenure and titles. Today, nearly all businesses are hiring, and staff have the choice to go elsewhere. The tidal wave of employees with a new mindset regarding loyalty, entitlement and cell phones cannot be stopped, but what leaders can and should do is get to know their new workforce, then build a place where people want to work. Readers of Staying Power are offered insights that will drive big-picture thinking, new understanding about the mindset of today's workforce, and an opportunity to shift their attitudes about who they are hiring. Readers are also provided with tangible operational tools for immediately improving employee retention and profitability within their companies. Readers will discover: - Ways to dedicate more staffing resources to make retention a higher priority and stronger component of the organizational culture - How to diagnose the real reasons staff leave (beyond pay) - Common mistakes managers should avoid that unintentionally cause employee turnover - Best practices for keeping new hires longer. Silletto and Brown's book is a how-to for organizations that need to understand the tangible and intangible costs of excessive turnover, and that haven't yet learned to treat employees as internal customers. The book, peppered with memorable real-life stories, provides fresh insights and proprietary frameworks and tools in three key areas: 1. Understanding the evolution of our workforce by generation. A history and sociology lesson on Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials that informs our perceptions of multi-generational workplaces and demonstrates what has shaped our various definitions of professionalism. 2. The issues on the T.A.B.L.E. - those that cause the most conflict in the workplace. An exploration of how workers see technology, authority, work/life balance, loyalty and entitlement differently, and eye-opening real-life stories about divorce and credit card use in the 1980s explain how Millennials gained a different view of the employer/employee relationship. 3. Key areas where businesses can improve to become M.A.G.N.E.T. employers that successfully attract and retain talent. Thoughtful strategies and actionable tactics for improving Management Effectiveness (Communication & Appreciation), Attraction & Recruiting (Employer Brand & Application Processes), Guidance Upon Entry (Onboarding & Activation), New Staffing Models (Scheduling & Advancement), Empowered Champions (Staff Councils & Retention Specialists), and Trust through Transparency (Feedback & Setting Examples). Staying Power reader bonus materials help leaders implement their new learning to take the experience from great read to great results.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Whose lives count as fully human? The answer matters for everyone, disabled or not.The ancient Greek ideal linked physical wholeness to moral wholeness - the virtuous citizen was "beautiful and good." It's an ideal that has all too often turned deadly, casting those who do not measure up as less than human. In the pre-Christian era, infants with disabilities were left on the rocks; in modern times, they have been targeted by eugenics.Much has changed, thanks to the tenacious advocacy of the disability rights movement. Yesteryear's hellish institutions have given way to customized educational programs and assisted living centers. Public spaces have been reconfigured to improve access. Therapies and medical technology have advanced rapidly in sophistication and effectiveness. Protections for people with disabilities have been enshrined in many countries' antidiscrimination laws.But these victories, impressive as they are, mask other realities that collide awkwardly with society's avowals of equality. Why are parents choosing to abort a baby likely to have a disability? Why does Belgian law allow for euthanasia in cases of disability, even absent a terminal diagnosis or physical pain? Why, when ventilators were in short supply during the first Covid wave, did some states list disability as a reason to deny care?On this theme: - Heonju Lee tells how his son with Down syndrome saved another child's life.- Molly McCully Brown and Victoria Reynolds Farmer recount their personal experiences with disability.- Amy Julia Becker says meritocracies fail because they value the wrong things.- Maureen Swinger asks six mothers around the world about raising a child with disabilities.- Joe Keiderling documents the unfinished struggle for disability rights.- Isaac T. Soon wonders if Saint Paul's "thorn in the flesh" was a disability.- Leah Libresco Sargeant reviews What Can a Body Do? and Making Disability Modern.- Sarah C. Williams says testing for fetal abnormalities is not a neutral practice.Also in the issue: - Ross Douthat is brought low by intractable Lyme disease.- Edwidge Danticat flees an active shooter in a packed mall.- Eugene Vodolazkin finds comic relief at funerals, including his own father's.- Kelsey Osgood discovers that being an Orthodox Jew is strange, even in Brooklyn.- Christian Wiman pens three new poems.- Susannah Black profiles Flannery O'Conner.- Our writers review Eyal Press's Dirty Work, Steve Coll's Directorate S, and Millennial Nuns by the Daughters of Saint Paul.Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to apply their faith to the challenges we face.
