22 Keys to Creating a Meaningful Workplace

Terez, organizational consultant, speaker, researcher and regular columnist for Workforce Online, has devoted much of his professional career to finding meaning at work. His latest effort, 22 Keys to Creating a Meaningful Workplace, is the result of interviews and focus groups he conducted with hundreds of people to understand how they define a meaningful workplace. Terez delivers a thoughtful and optimistic analysis of the elements that make all of the "ninety thousand hours" that we will spend at work worthwhile. He groups the 22 keys into five categories—mission keys, people keys, development keys, community keys and me keys. Readers will find Terez's skillful style of interweaving the stories of many of the people that he interviewed during his field research engaging and enlightening.
