Kenexa (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for
human resources, today announced that its Chairman and CEO, Rudy
Karsan's book, "We: How to Increase Performance and Profits Through
Full Engagement," is on both The New York Times and USA Today
bestseller lists. Released in January 2011, "We" has ranked number
two on USA Today's Money list and number seven on the New York
Times' Hardcover Advice, How-To and Miscellaneous list.
Karsan teamed with Kevin Kruse, CEO of Krū Research, on this
workplace leadership and employee job satisfaction guide and Tony
Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com, wrote its foreword.
"We" argues that while an employee can be successful despite
dissatisfaction and happy without engagement, true success comes
when the goals of the company and its employees are aligned. The
book makes clear that employees must actively manage their careers
and adapt successfully to change if they want to achieve security
in today's global economy. The authors also demonstrate that
achieving full workplace engagement is the responsibility of both
employer and employee.
"During these challenging times, Karsan and Kruse remind us that
successful businesses are built by dedicated workers," remarked
author of "Taking the Hill," and Pennsylvania Congressman Patrick
Murphy. "We: How to Increase Performance and Profits through Full
Engagement should be read by everyone interested in building
high-performing teams."
Karsan and Kruse identify three common factors that keep
employees engaged and productive: growth, recognition and trust.
The human resources and business experts rely on research findings
from over 10 million worker surveys and case studies that point to
employee job satisfaction and emotional investment as major
contributing factors to overall business profitability and, just as
importantly, the quality of life experienced by the organization's
employees.
"If you take just one message away from this book, make it this:
the idea that work and life are separate entities is an illusion.
Everything is your life. And you spend far too much time 'at work'
for it not to be an enjoyable, fulfilling, and yes, an engaging
experience," noted Karsan and Kruse in the book's first chapter.
"But the 'We' approach is one that says stop striving for a
work-life balance, and begin to craft a work-life blend."
"We" is available in hardcover through Amazon.com, Barnes &
Noble, Borders and Indie Bound. The list price is $24.95; ISBN:
978-0-47076743-6.
