On Fire at Work
How Great Companies Ignite Passion in Their People Without Burning Them Out
By Eric Chester
About the book
Eric Chester argues that employee engagement is only a starting point, not the goal companies should aim for. To make the case he went to the leaders of top workplaces, interviewing more than 25 founders, chief executives and presidents at large firms such as Wegmans, Siemens, Marriott, The Container Store, Hormel, BB&T Bank, Ben & Jerry's, 7-Eleven and WestJet, as well as smaller companies including Build-A-Bear, the Nerdery and Firehouse Subs. Their practices help staff perform better, work harder and stay longer. Chester holds that any organization, from a Fortune 500 firm to a family shop, can apply them, and he writes for executives, managers, HR professionals and small business owners.
International Franchise Association chief executive Steve Caldiera praised it as a guide to attracting, developing and keeping great employees and getting them to work like co-owners.
