Today’s employees are switching between professional and personal modes more fluidly than ever before. The concept of worklife balance has evolved into a new seamless blend – and it’s employee driven. Employers that can enable this blend will benefit from increased motivation, productivity and retention.

Today’s employees expect more than just a pay cheque at the end of the month. To keep them motivated, employers need to embrace a new workforce wishlist. Kronos believes workforce management technology can make or break engagement and productivity.

Gregg Gordon’s new book, Your Last Differentiator: Human Capital, celebrates the workforce as any organisation’s biggest differentiator. Acquiring capital and technology is no longer a barrier to entry in any market, and the workforce’s application of capital and technology is what provides innovation and competitive differentiation. For existing organisations to compete with agile startups, they must fully utilize the talents of their workforce. The book explores this “activation of the workforce,” which requires transparency, trust, and respect. The author establishes his belief that workforce engagement efforts and improvement in fiscal performance don’t have to be mutually exclusive by examining how innovative organizations improve the experience for their workforce while simultaneously growing the bottom line.

Competition is intense, therefore organisations need to fight hard to attract and keep the best. Employee engagement is your last source of competitive differentiation. Download the white paper to learn more.
