SHORTLISTED: Business Book Awards 2021 - HR & Management Category Productivity is flatlining, employee wellbeing is at an all-time low and stress at an all-time high. Mental health issues are now the biggest single disability affecting the UK and are estimated to cost the economy £105bn each year. Traditional company design, structures and processes are making these issues worse and leading to unprecedented levels of staff burnout. This not only impacts individual employees, there is also a detrimental effect on overall company performance when employees can't perform to their full potential. It is the responsibility of Organizational Development and HR professionals to address these issues urgently and redesign work to allow people to flourish and businesses to thrive. Full of practical advice, tips and tools, The Energized Workplaceprovides a blueprint for how practitioners can redesign their organizations to support employees and ensure the business outperforms the competition. It covers everything from why existing structures are causing business output to decline, why traditional processes are holding organizations back and what the consequences of not addressing these design issues will mean for business including increased staff turnover, a rise in employee absence and a decline in company profits. Including case studies from organizations across a range of sectors who have successfully put people at the heart of their workplace design such as CyberClick, Mind Valley, Brewdog and Wegmans and with specific guidance on designing for five generations working side by side, across different countries and on separate time zones, The Energized Workplacewill help OD and HR professionals confidently tackle the organizational issues putting their company success and employee health and happiness in jeopardy. This book is essential reading for practitioners needing to deal with the wellbeing crisis and productivity puzzle in the new world of work.
"Perry inspired me again! The Energized Workplace challenges the new world of work by proposing non-traditional HR/OD solutions and unconventional models along with practical case studies. Perry's concepts will definitely support the wellbeing of employees as well as help leaders and colleagues gain a better understanding of how to harness employees' energies in the workplace." * Marguerite A. Ulrich, Inspire HR Consulting. Founder & Chief Inspiration Officer *
"At a time when the world is facing unprecedented challenges, Perry brings the strategy and focus to recreate our organisations anew. The Energized Workplace offers a blueprint for how the workplace should be - not in the future, but NOW! This is no run of the mill book - it will leave you 'energised' and ready to bring your full self to work and help those around you achieve the same. A must read for anyone fed up with the status quo!" * Miranda Ash, Chief of Community + Transformation Expert at WorldBlu *
"The Energized Workplace is a book the world (of work) needs more than ever. Through a rich and considered blend of research, case studies and evident soul searching Perry Timms holds a mirror up to the design flaws and leadership foibles that continue to plague people and organisations and boldly lays out a blueprint for us to reinvent work with energy, engagement and eudaimonia as a source of superpower." * Rob Baker, Chief Positive Deviant & Founder of Tailored Thinking and author of Personalization at Work *
"I felt thoroughly nourished having read Perry's book. It's thought-provoking, progressive and gives you the space to think about what the future of work has in store for us and the potential impact that not taking care of our energy will have in this era of 'peak work'. In Perry's unique style he talks about how the 'dirty energy' will slow us down and how natural energy will lead us to flourish. If you're someone who wants to understand how to better manage your energy in the modern world of work this book is for you." * Natasha Wallace, Founder, Conscious Works and author of The Conscious Effect *
"Making positive change happens best from a place of understanding. In The Energized Workplace, Perry helps us to understand the energy (or lack of!) in organizations, identifying approaches we can all take to design better experiences, raise energy levels and maximise engagement. A stunning read that takes you on a real journey of discovery about organizations, about energy and about yourself." * Joanna Suvarna, Learning and Development Specialist *
