The New Rules of Engagement

This book offers practical, down-to-earth solutions, providing first-hand insights into engaging today’s employee.

How many employees care enough about their work or your organisation to do anything other than the bare minimum? How many would stay if they got another job offer?

Why should YOU car? Well, highly engaged employees are six times less likely to be planning to leave their jobs than those that are disengaged.

Mike Johnson argues that there are simple, direct ways to develop a NEW psychological contract between employer and employee. And you can start writing that new contract by recognising that the talk of work-life balance is the wrong way round as far as your employees are concerned – they are much more interested in their LIFE-WORK balance. Successful employers today know that life comes before work.

The advice in this book will:

• Help you convince senior management that employee engagement matters
• Help you improve your own and your employees’ productivity
• Help you retain key employees
• Make it easier for you to attract key employees

Praise for 'The New Rules of Engagement'

“MBA professors should not put this book on their students’ reading lists – it may change their attitude towards the rest of the syllabus. Mike Johnson tells it like it is. This book is a wake up call for real people managers for the ‘get real’ school of management.” 

Anne Chivers, Head of Learning & Organisation Development, Housing Corporation
