In JOBS,
Dr. T. William Hefferan, DBA, MBA, CCIM, CPM provides a stunning approach to
achieving long-term full employment in the United States and ending the
repeating cycles of high unemployment. Dr. Hefferan reveals the essential shift
in how we need to think about jobs and employment as the U.S. accelerates its
timely transformation into a knowledge worker economy.
This profound
shift will invigorate our heritage and foundation of innovation and entrepreneurship
– including restoration of our global leadership in education and learning –
leading to a dawn of new discoveries that create exciting new and unique
careers.
With over 23
years of experience as President/CEO of a 100 employee company, Dr. Hefferan decided
to put his corporate work experience together with his academic background and
solve one of our most significant societal problems. His unique approach to end
the persistent ups and downs of unemployment includes a peer reviewed research
study he designed specifically to discover ways to solve the problem.
Capitalizing
on the focus of his doctorate – organizational psychology and social science
research -- in 2009 and 2010 Dr. Hefferan interviewed job seekers, employees,
employers, HR professionals and CEOs across the United States using unique
questionnaires he designed to uncover unique solutions to the problem.
Each group
has their own thoughts as to the needs and wants of the other; however, Dr.
Hefferan’s concept was to look at those viewpoints side-by-side to determine if
there were gaps in the communications strategies and perceptions of each group
that may affect optimal employment relationships. The results are surprising as
they reveal the differences and misperceptions of each of the groups --
employers and employees -- Dr. Hefferan interviewed.
These
differences lead to less than optimal hiring and often to poor employment
relationships. Obviously the performance of the company is significantly
affected and the employees are not only disengaged at work, but many dislike
even showing up for another day at a job they don’t like.
These
startling results and conclusions from his research study lead him to develop a
series of easy to understand solutions called the 10 building blocks of EMBER.
The EMBER employment relationship is one in which both the employer and the
employee concentrate on making the work relationship a mutually beneficial and
rewarding one that meets each other’s needs and wants for both the short and
long-term. The path to reach EMBER is described in these 10 building blocks,
Passion
for Work
Finding
an EMBER Job
Connecting

Creating

Ethics

Personal

JOBS draws the reader deep into visualizing
the solutions through heartfelt real-life personal stories and experiences of
the research participants regarding all aspects of employment. Readers clearly
see how everyone can benefit from this journey to create a steady stream of
beneficial and rewarding jobs. Job seekers and employees learn how to secure
their perfect job, employers learn how to attract and retain top-tier
employees, and entrepreneurs learn the value of putting their ideas and
initiatives to work.
Readers learn
the value of ethics and authenticity in the workplace as well as why everyone
in an organization can be a leader, adding value to the company and the
employee’s career growth. Education and retraining, innovation and
entrepreneurship are shown in their increasingly critical role in putting every
American to work in their dream job.
Just like the
financial melt-down that caused the Great Recession, we will continue to face
new and complex challenges, such as globalization and economic challenges that
could again cause massive unemployment with little warning. Together with the
findings of his study, germinal research, and the input from contemporary
experts and authors in the area of employment, this groundbreaking book
provides a blueprint for America to reach long-term full employment. Dr.
Hefferan demystifies our journey to ending persistent ups and downs of
unemployment with his original entertaining presentation style.
Readers are
energized as they see how they can participate in this contemporary revolution
to a new America that will always have meaningful and rewarding
employment.
