Positive Professionals: Creating High-Performing Profitable Firms Through the Science of Engagement by Brafford, Anne. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781641050401.

Many firms take it on faith that theres only one way to attract and retain top talent and motivate peak performance: Ever-rising salaries. But has it worked? Firms’ hyper-competitive cultures, complaints of growing incivility and demoralization, a diversity crisis at the top, and a revolving door of talent suggest that its time to try something new. Positive Professionals is a practical handbook of science-backed strategies to foster full engagement by enhancing peoples experience of meaningful work, of feeling valued and valuable, and of growing and developing. Skeptical of a new approach? That’s natural. But it has science on its side. The books well-researched business case convincingly shows that greater engagement boosts not only individual well-being but also profitability, productivity, performance, retention of talent, and client satisfaction.
