A quick mention for Cathleen Benko and Anne Weisberg's new book Mass Career Customization: Aligning The Workplace With Today's Non-Traditional WorkForce. They stress the importance of personalizing employees' careers to fit their lifestyles in order to improve retention over the medium to longer term.
They suggest managers and employees discuss four key elements: pace, workload, location/schedule and role. Those of you who have read Lynda Gratton's The Democratic Enterprise will probably be familiar with most of the main ideas.
