To the point with actionable advice

I love the fact that the book was super short and got straight to the point. I loved that it told me exactly what to do. I love that it didn't gloss over things like the fact that employees could express hesitancy or mistrust of the process. I loved the fact that the author did the narrating, so we could feel his emotions and emphasis.

this is a great book. get it and take it to heart.

For "quick tip" fanatics

Got under 2h to spare? Listen to this. Narrator/author has a very energetic, positive voice. Straight to the point, no fluff which I appreciate. I feel book lacked a little extra evidence to make the suggestions more believable, but overall it contained great, memorable lists of what one can do to help employees become more engaged. Next book to read: how one can achieve this when you are not the one in charge, because this is not something the author explored in depth.

A short listen for sure

If you’re looking for in-depth ideas and ways to improve employee engagement, I don’t believe this is the book for you.
It is definitely a quick listen and worth the while if you’re looking for something simple and quick but not what I was after in the end.

Send this to your CEO

I have a presentation this Friday on this subject. I would love to encourage that I see our company going places, I see potential and the people that will get us there are the people in that room.

Work life matters

This is a great primer on how to get your employees engaged. This book includes tips and easy to follow suggestions.

Simplistic measure creates grand opportunity

This book speaks on the overlooked things in the workforce that can create a world of difference! Sometimes all an employee needs is just a thank you!

Rich and quick, filled with practical tips that can be immediately applied

As the head of 15-person company, this book was rich with insights that I plan to immediately test out. And the best part is that I didn't have to spend hours wading through the fluff to get to these pearls of insight... A perfect companion to your book on productivity, thanks for this Kevin!

Very Helpful

Was asked to read this for work but truly enjoyed it and found it extremely helpful.

Fantastic book

Great short read filled with actionable items to increase employee engagement. Definitely would recommend the book highly.

Most Beneficial Book I've Read/Listened to

I've spent the week researching and reading books about how to increase morale at our company, which set me on the path towards engagement. This is the 5th book I've read and by far the absolute BEST! Rather than hypotheticals, redundant backstory, and pushing to sell other products/services, THIS book provides clear, concise steps to tackle the issue of engagement head first.

The author defines what Engagement is, and is not as well as the key concepts for increasing engagement. However, he doesn't stop there like many others do. This book then gives a step by step guide - why it matters, how/where to start on each concept and ways to ensure efforts continue.

THANK YOU for this!
