Inspiring Work Anniversaries

Summary

TOO MANY WORK ANNIVERSARIES ARE MISSED OR MEDIOCRE — AND THEY'RE HARMING YOUR ORGANIZATION MORE THAN YOU KNOW

WHY IT MATTERS: For many organizations, workplace culture is now as important as strategy and execution—many would argue it’s even more important, since it drives everything from employee productivity to customer retention. But where do you start, and how do you know if it’s working? 

There’s a surprisingly simple answer, and it’s work anniversaries. Because unlike other paths to improving workplace culture, work anniversaries are (1) visible, (2) measurable, and (3) easy to improve ... if you know how. 

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS BOOK:

• 
  What work anniversaries can achieve – the three scientifically-validated high-value outcomes that great work anniversaries deliver to organizations


• 
  What gets in the way – the three forces of work anniversary mediocrity that undermine most work anniversary programs and how to avoid them


• 
  Who can help and what they can do – concrete ideas for the nine different roles that contribute to great work anniversaries—it's not just managers and HR

AND THERE'S MORE: There are also broader culture-focused chapters about work anniversary metrics, cultural uniqueness, vendors, acquisitions, and more.

THE BOTTOM LINE: If workplace culture matters to you, this book will show you how to take the most cost-effective and likely-to-succeed actions to shift your organization's work anniversaries from missed or mediocre to memorable and meaningful.
