\"In the wake of the Great Resignation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and worker strikes around the world, executives can no longer ignore the demands of their most overlooked stakeholder - their employees. For decades, business strategy has focused almost exclusively on the customer, and the effects of this one-sided approach are becoming more and more apparent. According to Stephan Meier, employees must be equally - if not more - valued than customers. In The Employee Advantage, Meier provides a comprehensive roadmap that any organization, large or small, can implement to benefit from putting their employees first. The good news? You don't need to start from scratch. The employee-centric revolution is more like an evolution, and the customer-centric tools that gave you a competitive advantage can be repurposed to focus on employees. Through case studies of Fortune 500 companies like Costco, DHL, Best Buy, and Quest Diagnostics, you'll learn: -Why employees care about more than money when it comes to their jobs, just as customers value more than the price; -What two mindsets shifts are essential to becoming an employee-centric workplace; -How improving employee experience benefits your business and your bottom line. In the coming years, the companies that will win in the marketplace will be the companies that win with the best employees. To get ahead and stay ahead, businesses must embrace the employee-centric revolution\"-- Provided by publisher.

Revolutionary developments in economics are rare. The conservative bias of the field and its enshrined knowledge make it difficult to introduce new ideas not in line with received theory. Happiness research, however, has the potential to change economics substantially in the future. Its findings, which are gradually being taken into account in standard economics, can be considered revolutionary in three respects: the measurement of experienced utility using psychologists' tools for measuring subjective well-being; new insights into how human beings value goods and services and social conditions that include consideration of such non-material values as autonomy and social relations; and policy consequences of these new insights that suggest different ways for government to affect individual well-being. In Happiness, emphasizing empirical evidence rather than theoretical conjectures, Bruno Frey substantiates these three revolutionary claims for happiness research. After tracing the major developments of happiness research in economics and demonstrating that we have gained important new insights into how income, unemployment, inflation, and income demonstration affect well-being, Frey examines such wide-ranging topics as democracy and federalism, self-employment and volunteer work, marriage, terrorism, and watching television from the new perspective of happiness research. Turning to policy implications, Frey describes how government can provide the conditions for people to achieve well-being, arguing that a crucial role is played by adequate political institutions and decentralized decision making. Happiness demonstrates the achievements of the economic happiness revolution and points the way to future research.Bruno S. Frey is Professor of Economics at the University of Zurich, Visiting Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and Research Director of CREMA (Center for Research in Economics, Management, and the Arts). He is co-editor of Economics and Psychology: A Promising New Cross-Disciplinary Field (MIT Press, 2007).
