Seeking Fairness at Work examines the unwritten rules at work—rules that, when broken, keep employees from doing their best work and companies from reaching their full potential.

Recognized business strategist Hanna Hasl-Kelchner, MBA, JD explains the five most common workplace norms that betray fairness, leaving employees feeling dispirited, disengaged, and headed for the door by examining the crucial role the implied social contract plays in workplace culture and organizational behavior, and how it dovetails with our most fundamental motivational needs as human beings.

Using evidence-based science, academic research, interviews, and real-life stories, Hasl-Kelchner identifies over 100 Fairness Factors and analyzes why traditional means of improving employee engagement, retention and satisfaction inevitably fall short and are persistently stubborn.

Discover solutions aimed at neutralizing toxic norms and empowering a culture where employees can do their best work. The book offers a five-part strategy filled with practical tips any leader can use to:

• Rebuild Trust with More Self-Awareness

• Improve Relationship Chemistry with More Empathy

• Make Genuine Accountability a Cornerstone

• Maintain a Cultural Safety Net

• Mend the Structural Safety Net

Seeking Fairness at Work is ideal for executives, managers, and entrepreneurs who want to raise their employees’ game instead of their defenses; the human resource professionals, consultants, and employment attorneys who advise them; and employees wanting a reality check of their own workplace experiences.
