In the early 1900s, government's goal was to pass laws to just make employees' lives at work a little more equitable. Now, in this new millennium, employers are taking control of the workplace and "equitable" is going beyond the concepts of compensation and benefits. WorldatWork has coined the phrase "The Work Experience," but what do those words really mean? This book serves as a primer for anyone interested in learning the ABCs of those intangible aspects of the workplace: acknowledgement, balance of work/life, culture, development and environment. Written in an easy-to-understand, conversational format, this book also provides thoughtful articles to support this concept.
