Unlocking the 15 Keys to Employee Engagement Green Goldfish 2.0 is based on the simple premise that employees are the key drivers of customer experience and that "Happy Employees Create Happy Customers." The book focuses on 15 different ways to drive employee engagement and reinforce a strong corporate culture. The book is based on the findings of the Green Goldfish Project, an effort which crowdsourced over 1,001 examples of signature added value for employees. Key themes emerged from the Project and the book is filled with over 200 examples.
Creating Green Goldfish in your organization provides three benefits: 1. Differentiation - Doing little extras provide a tangible way to stand out in a sea of sameness. The little extra gives the company a "remark"able difference or set of signature differences.
2. Retention - If you keep employees happy, they tend to stick around longer.
3. Word of mouth - By creating a culture that attracts talent, you can become a desired place to work. The result is that you'll get more "A" players.
The book is broken into three main sections: Section I: Here we outline the "Why" This part of our book explores the reasons for focusing on engagement and where the metaphor of a Goldfish originated.
Section II: This is where we explore the "Ingredients" We'll uncover the five R.U.L.E.S. for creating a Green Goldfish: Relevant, Unexpected, Limited, Expressive and Sticky.
Section III: The "What" Here we share the 15 different types of Green Goldfish and the categories they fall under: the three B's: Building, Belonging, and Becoming.
