Trade Review"Perry inspired me again!
The Energized Workplace challenges the new world of work by proposing non-traditional HR/OD solutions and unconventional models along with practical case studies. Perry's concepts will definitely support the wellbeing of employees as well as help leaders and colleagues gain a better understanding of how to harness employees' energies in the workplace." * Marguerite A. Ulrich, Inspire HR Consulting. Founder & Chief Inspiration Officer *
"At a time when the world is facing unprecedented challenges, Perry brings the strategy and focus to recreate our organisations anew.
The Energized Workplace offers a blueprint for how the workplace should be - not in the future, but NOW! This is no run of the mill book - it will leave you 'energised' and ready to bring your full self to work and help those around you achieve the same. A must read for anyone fed up with the status quo!" * Miranda Ash, Chief of Community + Transformation Expert at WorldBlu *
"
The Energized Workplace is a book the world (of work) needs more than ever. Through a rich and considered blend of research, case studies and evident soul searching Perry Timms holds a mirror up to the design flaws and leadership foibles that continue to plague people and organisations and boldly lays out a blueprint for us to reinvent work with energy, engagement and eudaimonia as a source of superpower." * Rob Baker, Chief Positive Deviant & Founder of Tailored Thinking and author of Personalization at Work *
"I felt thoroughly nourished having read Perry's book. It's thought-provoking, progressive and gives you the space to think about what the future of work has in store for us and the potential impact that not taking care of our energy will have in this era of 'peak work'. In Perry's unique style he talks about how the 'dirty energy' will slow us down and how natural energy will lead us to flourish. If you're someone who wants to understand how to better manage your energy in the modern world of work this book is for you." * Natasha Wallace, Founder, Conscious Works and author of The Conscious Effect *
"Making positive change happens best from a place of understanding. In
The Energized Workplace, Perry helps us to understand the energy (or lack of!) in organizations, identifying approaches we can all take to design better experiences, raise energy levels and maximise engagement. A stunning read that takes you on a real journey of discovery about organizations, about energy and about yourself." * Joanna Suvarna, Learning and Development Specialist *
