Affiliation in the Workplace: Value Creation in the New Organization
Author: Ron ElsdonPublisher: ABC-CLIOCategory: Business & Management, Management & Management Techniques, Personnel & Human Resources Management, Organizational Theory & BehaviourBook Format: HardcoverProvides organizational leaders and human resource professionals with a framework that strengthens organizational growth and productivity through the workforce while enhancing individual fulfillment. To succeed in the emerging work world, organizational leaders and human resource professionals will need to create a new relationship with individuals built around the concept of affiliation. This will mean changed roles and behaviors that respect mutual interests. It will also require a culture of inclusion expressed internally through workforce diversity, externally through workforce partnerships, at a community level through philanthropy, and globally in the pursuit of a greater good. This book draws on studies that quantify the link between individual development and organizational value creation; strengthening this link is the key to creating a strong sense of affiliation and a more productive workforce. The author provides frameworks for characterizing the workforce, listening to the organization, using inclusion as a key differentiator and the application of mathematical modeling techniques to explore and quantify related areas. Affiliation differs from the traditional concept of employee retention. Affiliation implies a two-way exchange between employer and employee, and it refers to the bonds that can be created and cemented in a redefined relationship that leads simultaneously to higher levels of employee retention and individual fulfillment. We are entering an era when it makes sense to move away from mere retention strategies of control, and toward more mutually beneficial strategies of affiliation. This trend can be traced to the recognition of the influence of the knowledge worker and the value of human capital in today's economy, and it has become more important than ever for competitive organizations to master the skills of creating an environment at work built around affiliation. This book describes how to do it in a step-by-step fashion by covering everything you'll need to know, including benchmarking of affiliation characteristics.
