An instant New York Times bestseller!
Do you want the key to driving equity and skyrocketing profits? It's simple: hand over control to your workers.
Discover 9 strategies to create better, healthier workplaces, grounded in evidence-based research.
This revolutionary guide aims to revolutionize the workplace for justice, equity, and profitability by handing the reins over to the real drivers of success: the workers.
Based on research from over 1,200 companies, including WalMart, Google, and JPMorgan Chase, this book follows real-world cases from companies where employees evolved from silent contributors to masterminds steering corporate strategies. These cases are the vanguard of a vibrant era in which workers will be the architects of their destinies, shaping not just their own careers but the entire trajectories of their organizations. Her work has quantified the financial impact investing in people can have on an organization--the first reliable calculation in the literature of talent retention.
From this research, 9 key strategies emerged:
- Centering employee voices
- Mutualistic working relationships
- Intersectional inclusion strategies
- Reimaging employee benefits
- Frontline leader driven strategies
- Hire STARS
- Develop deep talent benches
- Human capital reporting as a competitive strategy
- Distributed leadership
This book goes deeper to show how these strategies are working in the real-world today. When workers have stakes, everyone scores: businesses surge, and teams ride a high they've never felt before. This is a win-win proposition: both management and labor win when you put people first.

Two ideas really landed with me from this book- how to address the "whole" employee and their intersectional identities, and also letting every worker be an entrepreneur/intrapreneur. These are key traits of our evolving workforce, and I was encouraged to see them as focal points. Angela is a beautiful writer. There's so much depth, evidence and great examples throughout.
Dr. Angela really has a gem here!! As a therapist that works with high performing individuals, I understand how daunting it can be for people to work in places where they don't feel they can bring their full self to work. It was extremely refreshing to have a book that not only encourages employers to consider THE WHOLE EMPLOYEE but also provides actionable steps. This book is an absolute must read for any Employer or Business owner looking to ensure they have a Winning Workplace!
As a manager this amazing book is a must have!!

The pandemic has changed the way our workforce sees its future. It's not your father’s/mother’s workplace anymore.
