About the Book

Profitable change is possible—and necessary—with the right strategy. Part call to action, part strategic roadmap, this groundbreaking book challenges our underlying assumptions about workers and the workplace and gives leaders proven tools and step-by-step solutions to find and lead the talent they need now and in the future.

A message to leaders: Did you know only 30% of your employees are actively engaged at work? This means a staggering 70% of the people you pay every day are either looking for another job or doing just enough to not get fired. Disengaged employees create business drag that costs companies nearly $12 billion per year and potentially 20 times that in missed opportunities. It’s no secret that to remain competitive, leaders need, and must achieve, more ROI from their employees. 

The truth is as stark as it is simple: There aren’t enough skilled and strategic workers to keep the engines of commerce running, much less drive toward the future, and employers are faced with either trying to win back the employees they really want with patchwork incentives or replacing them from ever-dwindling talent pools. 

Backed by extensive new research, and presented with candor and clarity, Unti SHRM Book delivers step-by-step strategies and proven tactics for finding, developing, and engaging the talent you need today to ensure your business is booming over the long haul.
