Achieve unprecedented business value by fostering true employee engagement

Many organizations fail to realize and harness the power of their most valuable asset--their employees. Though they can be developed into a true competitive advantage, engagement isn't attainable if the employee isn't invested in the company's overall success. Agile Engagement offers business leaders a concrete strategy for building, maintaining, and utilizing employee engagement to achieve the highest level of business success. The key? Employees must feel like they are a part of their company's culture instead of having it handed down to them. Stories of failed employee engagement initiatives abound, and they all have one thing in common: they begin from the premise of "initiative" rather than "employee." True engagement occurs when an employee's heart and mind are activated in a way that leads to their motivation and commitment to positively impact the company's goals and vision. This book shows you how to create an environment that stresses a culture of unity at all levels by showing you how to:

  1. Create a clear, compelling vision and corresponding engagement strategy through the Engagement Canvas
  2. Communicate your unique culture strategy throughout all levels of your company
  3. Foster grassroots, employee-led engagement initiatives
  4. Improve engagement continuously with the Emplify Score tool

Agile Engagement provides a deeper look into real engagement, helping you foster a work environment that's rewarded with unsurpassed productivity, innovation, and competitive advantage, as well as employees who feel valued, respected, and heard.

From the Inside Flap

No matter your industry, company size, geographic location, or employee population, a culture of engagement is critical to business success. True employee engagement is not reserved for a chosen few. Rather, it is within reach of every business, every leader, and every worker. Organizations that prioritize culture-building and engagement differentiate themselves in the marketplace and reap the rewards.

Employee engagement and measurement are popular topics, but there is a vacuum between the theories and actionable strategies for real-world engagement. The ground-breaking Engagement Canvas, created by authors Todd Richardson and Santiago Jaramillo, fills this void and provides a clear roadmap to deeper employee engagement and the significant benefits that come with being a workplace of choice. The introduction of their engagement measurement methodology allows companies to establish a cadence of engagement measurement and improvement.

Agile Engagement is divided into four main sections:

  • The Engagement Engine: We define workplace culture and employee engagement and break down how they impact your business.
  • The Workplace of Now: We explore tectonic shifts in the workplace and uncover key drivers of employee engagement.
  • The Engagement Canvas: We show you how to use the Engagement Canvas to drive overall culture strategy and measure your effectiveness over time.
  • The Practice of Engagement: We offer practical advice that will immediately help improve engagement and business results.

Agile Engagement is not merely a theoretical work, but a practical guide for readers who want to drive real employee engagement and develop winning cultures. In this book, Richardson and Jaramillo have created what has eluded so many authors, a brilliantly simple, yet powerful tool that changes the way businesses craft culture strategies, drive employee engagement, and objectively measure culture success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Employee Engagement and Culture do affect your bottom line!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017
Verified Purchase
As an HR professional working in the tech industry we have been talking about Employee Engagement for some time and how culture can affect your bottom line, but it has been difficult to easily prove. Mainly due to not having a good tool to measure the ROI. Employee Engagement is not a buzzword especially now as companies like Emplify are building products to help HR professionals and C-level leaders really see what can happen when you not only pay attention, but have tools to measure the true impact. I was excited to read a book that focuses on how HR can be more of a strategic force and not the typical stereotype of an 'administrative' function. Santiago and Todd hit the nail on the head when talking about the future of HR and it is about data. Data is only powerful when you know how to properly utilize it and tell a story with it, I believe the HR function having the proper tools like the Engagement Canvas will help propel the profession into being viewed as progressive and never have companies question whether HR should have a seat at the table. Overall, an easy read with valuable examples from business and HR leaders across all industries, a book you can actually read and implement the ideas into your business.

Great book filled with both tactical suggestions for improving engagement and real-life proof of the tips actually working. Great insight on what really drives employee engagement vs what most companies are trying to keep employees around.

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2017

Great book filled with practical, actionable advice. Employee engagement has long been a nebulous term that is conflated with internal communications, culture-building, or just employee satisfaction. This book not only helps clarify that definition (it's all of those, and more) but offers a thoughtful and simple framework for helping measure and improve engagement in any company. Highly recommended.

This was the first piece I have read that made the topic of employee engagement both something I understood and something that seemed attainable with the right strategy. The practical advice on how to approach engagement and craft a workable strategy was most useful.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I haven't finished this book and may not. However I do think the authors make a cogent attempt to deliver on the promise of real, actionable things management can do to create a flourishing company culture and have more engaged employees as a result, without relying on outlandish perks (tech companies) to get people enthusiastic and engaged with their jobs.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
As a development manager, I am not necessarily the intended audience for this book (HR). That being said I took away several key pointers that I will be keeping in mind as I lead my team. Employee engagement is not a goal, it's a process. A continually evolving process at that. You can't role out an engagement project and expect it to just take hold. You need to involve your employees in several of the decisions that affect the culture and work environment. They need to feel like they are part of the office culture and that their feedback matters. Your vision of the office culture needs to be shared by all levels of the company. Those that do not buy in may not be the best fit for your company, no matter how technically proficient they are.

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2017
This book is a great reminder for HR professionals on what is most important to focus on for their employees and an easy-to-relate to guide for business leaders in general to understand the simple tenets that drive employee satisfaction. The book is peppered with quotes and real examples from leaders doing the work. The advice given is relatable and not academic - it takes into account the changing landscape with the gig economy, remote workers and an increasing demand from employees for flexibility. I’ve been sharing this book with everyone because it's full of golden nuggets!
