Drawing on real-world examples, this new book shows how a new work currency can build better people, better companies, and a better world.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Scott Cawood, an influencer in workplace dynamics and employee experience, introduces his new book, "The New Work Exchange," a must-read for C-level executives, human resource professionals, and anyone seeking fulfillment in their work. The book calls for a radical realignment of how, when, and why we work.
In "The New Work Exchange, Embracing the Future by Putting Employees First," the CEO of WorldatWork, a professional association for HR and total rewards professionals, challenges traditional notions of work-life balance and encourages a more holistic approach to work, where the focus is on people and their needs. Cawood argues that post-Covid, the way we work and live is undergoing a seismic shift. Far more significant than the great resignation, Cawood argues that we are facing a "Great Rebalancing" that requires a new approach to organizational leadership.
The book draws on real-life examples from some of the best (and worst) workplaces, highlighting what works and what doesn't. He offers practical tips to help leaders and employees alike to make work better.
According to Cawood, "The first step for leaders to make work better is to acknowledge that employees are the most critical stakeholders in the new work exchange. To engage them, they need more voice, more interaction, and more influence in the business. They need to be shown that they are trusted. Time spent working creates outcomes that are meaningful, impactful, and valuable."
"The New Work Exchange" is a call to action for leaders and employees to embrace a new way of working that prioritizes flexibility, value alignment, and work-life integration; it provides a roadmap for navigating the changing workplace.
"The New Work Exchange," published by ForbesBooks, is available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and through WorldatWork. All proceeds from "The New Work Exchange" go to the WorldatWork Foundation.
Scott Cawood Bio:
Scott Cawood, Ed.D, CCP, GRP, CSCP, CBP, has spent his entire career working to answer a very specific question: How can we make work―and workplaces―better? A self-described "work nerd," Cawood's passion for the workplace and how it functions (or not) inspired him to earn degrees in organizational communication, labor and industrial relations, education, and a doctorate degree in organization and work-based learning. Unsurprisingly, he's forged these disciplines into a singular passion for organizations dedicated to great work. Since 2015, he's been CEO of the nonprofit member-based association WorldatWork, dedicated to figuring out how to make work and the employee experience better for top organizations across the world. A renowned speaker and presenter, his second book, The New Work Exchange, will be released on June 26, 2023.
