Employees and leaders intuitively know that when we find a place where we can throw our hearts, spirits, minds, and hands into our work, we are happier, healthier, and produce better results. Yet, most of us struggle to understand exactly why we engage in some environments, and don’t in others. ENGAGEMENT MAGIC introduces the five MAGIC keys of employee engagement—Meaning, Autonomy, Growth, Impact, and Connection—and show how leaders can help employees achieve higher levels of engagement, as well as how employees can be more personally and professionally successful by taking ownership for their own MAGIC.

Written as a follow-up to the author’s award-winning first book, MAGIC, this book provides updated research, case studies, and tips that are the result of analyzing more than 30 million employee survey responses from over 70 countries. ENGAGEMENT MAGIC takes advantage of the most extensive employee experience database of its kind to combine principles of psychology and motivation with solid business concepts. ENGAGEMENT MAGIC provides actionable advice that will reduce attrition, encourage initiative, drive growth and profit, and increase personal engagement in one’s work.

Leaders and employees will find real-world case studies, exercises, assessments, thought-provoking questions, and suggestions that will increase engagement at the individual, manager, and organizational levels.
