Instability
and turbulence characterize the modern American workplace.
The collective impact of foreign competition, rapidly changing technology,
and economic volatility has made it necessary for employers to drastically
reduce costs while maintaining, or even increasing, productivity.
This invariably leads to layoffs, often affecting employees with
years of experience under their belts. Which in turn underlines
the fact that yesterday's job security is gone, and it's never coming
back. Where previous generations were able to get a job with one
company and retire on 20 years worth of pension benefits, today’s
employees can expect to spend only 2 to 3 years with each employer.
And, despite expecting greater productivity, today's employers generally
offer what amounts to 'temporary' work. Countering
this gloomy picture author P. Anthony Burnham forcefully
argues the new workplace is in fact full of unparalleled promise
- both for employees and employers! His book Employed for Life teaches
you how to turn the perceived disadvantage of the fluid workplace
to your advantage by “taking control of your work product,
regardless of the work environment, and "profitably minding
your own business." His clear message…“to be successful
you must now “see yourself as a valued 'product' or 'business',
and take concrete steps to think, act and perform accordingly."
To help you succeed Tony offers |
step by step
guidance on how to consistently produce the sought after results
in various work environments and provides a valuable tool for determining
your workplace value using the Value Formula: V=St + A+ R. In the
process he teaches readers how to speak the language of the modern
global workplace – “Resultspeak” - and why you
must become fluent in order to survive and prosper.
Tony Burnham draws on over three decades of real-world experience
on both sides of the corporate equation, and brings real-life examples
to the table to illustrate his points. From the true story of the
downsized laborer who calculated her 'Value' and became a freelance
writer, to simple methods designed to help you figure your workplace
value, find out why Employed for Life lives up
to its title! “A must read for today's employee.
Finally someone has written the Bible for an everyday employee and
how not to get taken advantage of. Buy it!"
Kurt Galitski, Costa Mesa, Ca
“Finally, someone in a position to really know is telling
the American worker the truth about success in the workplace! It
takes far more than "finding your bliss" in today's hyper-competitive
market to make it and Tony Burnham has the formula. This book is
a must read for anyone interested job security and getting ahead
in the 21st century.”

Unresolved conflicts impede operations, decrease productivity
and increase negative attitudes among staffers
