The Meaning of Work: HR Implications

I recently read David and Wendy Ulrich's book "The Why of Work" (McGraw Hill).

The authors provide an interesting epistemological perspective on why Leaders need to rethink which workplace drivers are key, in today’s business environment, for supporting productive engagement.

An expectation of meaningful work – as defined from the employee’s perspective – is emphasized.

Chapter 10 in particular focuses on implications for HR executives.
