Overview
It's Personal: The Business Case for Caring thoughtfully examines the Human Connection Movement™ in the workplace, which is fueled by a growing desire among employees to feel more connected to one another and as a result, better connected to their jobs. This movement, which is especially important given the challenges of today's new work-from-home environment, has transformed the role of employers into the benefactors of wellbeing. It's Personal: The Business Case for Caring serves as a strategic and tactical guide for company leaders who want to embrace this transformational change, improve employee engagement, and drive business results.
Description

The challenges of today's new work-from-home environment have transformed the role of employers from mere beneficiaries of workforce health to essential partners in supporting employees’ total wellbeing. It's Personal: The Business Case for Caring serves as a strategic and tactical guide for company leaders who want to embrace this transformational change, improve employee engagement, and drive business results.

Inspirational, practical, and timely, It’s Personal is backed up by data, real-world experience, and testimonials from business leaders at innovative employers such as Aetna and Southwest Airlines. The book offers groundbreaking insights into critically important issues such as:

  • The Human Connection Movement™ in the workplace, which is fueled by a growing desire among employees to feel more connected to one another and as a result, better connected to their jobs

  • How employee needs and expectations are changing, and what employers can do to meet these new needs 

  • Why now is the time to take a fresh look at the employer/employee relationship

  • The costs of not caring: understanding the direct connection between employee wellbeing and engagement and a company’s bottom line

  • Leadership's role in not only culture change but in improving the life and work experiences of employees

  • The unique and unmanageable burden being placed on women and working mothers in the workforce

  • How to develop a corporate wellbeing plan with limited resources

It’s Personal is written by Lorna Borenstein, founder and CEO of Grokker – the on-demand wellbeing engagement solution for global enterprises such as CVSHealth, Target, and eBay. The book can be used by leaders to justify why creating a caring environment is a vital corporate strategy, not just because it's the right thing to do but because it's the smart thing to do.
