EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IN JUSTSIX WORDS

Enjoy this book of six words.

Work well, find engagement in brevity

This is the sixth e-book produced by the employee engagement network and it is a book based on 6 words. Ernest Hemingway wrote the quintessential 6 word story: For sale:baby shoes, never worn.

Employee Engagement network members were asked to refine employee engagement to 6 words. Perhaps this was the experience of an employee or the directions for an organization or manager.

Over 120 members of the network authored their 6 word employee engagement story. Thank you to all the employee engagement network members for their contributions and to John Junson for his excellent design of the book.
