Seeking Fairness at Work: Cracking the New Code of Greater Employee Engagement, Retention & Satisfaction

I like the way the book is written. It shows what employees considered unfairness, and the steps to improve them. Good job. I recommend.

I really enjoyed Getting Fairness at Work. It’s practical, clear, and full of useful advice for addressing fairness issues in the workplace. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to create a more balanced work environment.

A smart, easy-to-read guide to creating a fairer workplace. The real-life stories and tips make it a must for leaders and anyone navigating workplace dynamics.

This book was well thought out and insightful. It was a good reminder for me, as someone who is an employee in the non-profit corporate world, that fairness matters and that I deserve it. It can be easy to fall into traps where you let your leadership treat you unfairly, falsely believing that it will benefit you in the long run. Most of the time, you need to stand your ground and protect yourself, not over-work yourself to impress. Definitely recommend!

A compelling guide to promoting workplace fairness and improving employee engagement. The book draws on real-life examples and research. Hasl-Kelchner explains work-place unfairness is one of the roots of emotional problems, and emphasizes the unwritten social contract that exists between employers and employees. It isn't just theory - its actionable five-part strategy encompasses rebuilding trust, enhancing empathy, ensuring accountability, and strengthening cultural safety nets for employees. Over 100 Fairness Factors are identified and the book offers practical guidance for leaders to look at the existing toxic norms and hoe to cultivate a supportive environment. The psychological frameworks presented (like Maslow’s hierarchy) add depth and some readers could find the dense references a bit overwhelming. I have to say it didn't phase me - there's a lot of value in these pages. The nice blend of storytelling, hard data, and clear solutions to real problems makes this an important asset for managers and HR professionals. Workplace fairness drives productivity and humanity thrives.

As an HR professional, this book is amazing! I deal a lot with employee relations and the amount of cases I handle about managers being unfair is too many! I liked the tips about rebuilding trust through self-awareness so it is something that I will suggest to one of the managers who is really struggling. The cultural safety net concept is something else that looks promising and will definitely talk to the executive team about. Overall, I find the book full of useful tips and I can tell from experience that they will deliver promising results.
