Shuck, Michael Bradley; Wollard, Karen Kelly
New Horizons in Adult Education & Human Resource Development, v22 n1 p48-53 Win 2008
Tomorrow's workforce is seeking more than a paycheck; they want their work to meet their needs for affiliation, meaning, and self-development. Companies willing to meet these demands will capture the enormous profit potential of a workforce of fully engaged workers. This piece explores what engagement is, why it matters, and how human resource development (HRD) professionals can be strategic corporate partners in creating the changes necessary to engage the talent in their employees.
