Back to Human explains how a more socially connected workforce creates greater fulfillment, productivity, and engagement while preventing burnout and turnover.
The next generation of leaders must create a workplace where teammates feel genuinely connected, engaged, and empowered — without relying on technology. Based on Dan Schawbel's exclusive research studies — featuring the perspectives of over 2,000 managers and employees across different age groups — Back to Human reveals why virtual communication, though vital and useful, actually contributes to a stronger sense of isolation at work than ever before. How can we change this culture?
Schawbel offers a self-assessment called the "Work Connectivity Index" that measures the strength of team relationships. He also shares exercises, examples, and activities that readers can work on individually or as a team, which will help them increase personal productivity, be more collaborative, and become more fulfilled at work.

Back to Human ultimately helps you decide when and how to use technology to build better connections in your work life. It is a call to action to leaders across the world to make the workplace a better experience for all of us.

      Based on a global study of more than 2,000 managers and employees across different age groups, this new book by Schawbel (Promote Yourself) provides insight into how changes to corporate culture have created a stressful and isolating environment for employees, and what managers can do to revitalize staff and create functional teams. This book is written for leaders looking to create a more interactive workplace using empathy and communication, covering similar territory as Laszlo Bock's Work Rules! and John Doerr's Measure What Matters. Schawbel also examines the relationships between management and employees by looking at how technology has changed how we work. Included are several assessments that leaders can use to evaluate their management skills. Overall, Schawbel's latest provides context for the changes in corporate culture that have developed as more generations are working alongside one another. VERDICT Recommended to business professionals seeking to manage a corporate culture that provides a work-life balance to its staff.--John Rodzvilla, Emerson Coll., Boston
