What makes an employee great? According to Harris and Brannick, great employees are those who match the culture of the company they work for and whose personal values align with the organization's core purpose.
Finding and Keeping Great Employees identifies four basic organizational purposes-operational excellence, customer service, unleashing technology, and spirit. By focusing on one of these as their core purpose and using it to drive their selection and retention strategies, organizations will gain a long-term competitive advantage and create a workplace full of self-motivated employees who are highly -purpose-driven.
Based on research into best practices at more than 250 companies, this breakthrough book shares how some of today's most progressive organizations are doing just that -- and shutting down the revolving door -- by leveraging their core purpose and corporate culture to attract and retain great employees. Written in a crisp, reader-friendly style, with numerous examples and case studies, it shows managers and HR professionals how to:
* simplify and streamline the recruiting process
* improve organizational focus by benchmarking their company's practices against the world's best-run companies
* achieve a good 'fit' between employees and corporate culture
* become the employer of choice within their industry, their market, and their community.
In today's tight labor market, finding employees that are 'keepers' is critical to success. This book offers a powerful new action plan to help companies find and keep employees who will enable them to find and keep success.
Dr. Jim Harris, President of The James Harris Group (Pensacola, FL), is a professional speaker who tracts workplace trends and their impact on employee motivation and retention.

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
