Multiple million-copy best-selling business author Dr. Bob Nelson (1001 Ways to Reward Employees, Managing For Dummies, among others) has created a silver lining for managers and businesses everywhere in today’s tough recessionary times by creating a resource for how to enhance employee morale, performance and productivity without spending a lot of money, time or resources. This research-based book looks at companies whose employee engagement scores have dramatically increased during the current recession and compares those to companies whose scores have nosedived over a comparable period to see how management practices varies between the two groups.

To keep employees focused and motivated in these difficult times, managers need to be proactive, positive and forward looking in systematically applying these dimensions on a daily basis with their employees. Dr. Nelson shows you exactly how to do this, using his trademark style of simple yet powerful insights, combined with concise, low-cost and practical suggestions all supported with real-life examples from successful organizations.
