Finally, a new book offers fresh solutions for one of the most daunting of all managerial challenges -- attracting and retaining a productive, innovative staff. Unwittingly, organizations everywhere jeopardize their odds at maintaining the…best people by underestimating the value of their input. Without SAY power, workers who devote their talents and enthusiasm to a job go home every day feeling like forgotten cogs in a large wheel. Seemingly voiceless and under-appreciated, their loyalty plummets. Sooner or later, they look elsewhere for recognition, taking with them their ideas, suggestions and information. Can any company risk such expensive and preventable losses? All Work and No Say.ho hum, another day, by Jody Urquhart, syndicated columnist of The Joy of Work, is not merely another book about "empawerment" -- a temporary measure that assigns responsibility. Instead, All Work and No Say helps organizations of all sizes to gauge and increase SAY factor, and therefore, satisfaction among its employees. Through quizzes, checklists and a bounty of examples and suggestions, the message is clear that the key to keeping loyal, spirited and accountable staff lies in re-focusing your business to give employees more SAY. All Work and No Say is a rescue manual -- bursting with surprising solutions to inject new passion into everyone on staff -- including harried management. It recognizes the pitfalls of certain corporate philosophies and the limitations of policy and procedure. It helps restore trust, balance and values. 163 pp.
