A practical guide on how to build the case for investment in the employee experience, how to achieve senior leadership buy-in, and the tools you'll need to develop a winning culture. As Richard Branson says: "Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients." Despite the popularity of this quote, whereas organisations spend big budgets chasing new leads and keeping current customers satisfied, few spend much money on the people who truly make the organisation succeed or fail: the employees. The lack of serious investment in the employee experience is a major factor in worldwide lost productivity totally over $7 trillion. The importance of this investment isn't landing with the majority of senior leaders, though. This is leading to frustration from those working in HR, Internal Comms, Employee Engagement, Employee Experience and Learning & Development, as they have suggestions and solutions for improvement, but, unlike investment in the customer experience, these aren't making it onto the agendas of senior leaders. And without their buy-in, employee-related initiatives are doomed to fail. This book will show you how to: Build the business case for investing in the employee experience; Calculate how much more productive and profitable your organisation could be if you had a more motivated workforce; Deliver a great employee experience using the free EXO Tookit. Investing in the employee experience is a win: win: win. It benefits the employees, as they have a more enjoyable and fulfilling work life. It benefits the business, as employees will be more productive and the business more profitable. It benefits the customer, as they will be better served by motivated and satisfied employees, reducing customer churn and increasing revenues. It's not: 'Can you afford to invest in the employee experience?', it's: 'Can you afford not to?'.

Practical advice for investors from investors Presenting a fresh approach to investment guidance, Wealth of Experience is built on real investors' stories about what has worked-and what hasn't worked-for them during their personal investment journeys. The Vanguard Group, one of the world's most respected investment companies, asked hundreds of investors who have succeeded in accumulating real wealth to explain how they've gone about it. Their personal accounts make this a one-in-a-kind book with extraordinary insights on saving, investing, and managing money from "ordinary investors" for their peers. Wealth of Experience has straightforward, battle-tested advice on investing for retirement, learning about finance, and managing money. The invaluable guidance from experienced fellow investors can help readers avoid major financial pitfalls and learn from mistakes others have made. Vanguard's research confirmed its long-held belief that individual investors-sometimes derided on Wall Street as unsophisticated-are a savvy and capable group. This book proves that their collective wisdom is as valuable as any "expert" advice. The Vanguard Group (based in Valley Forge, PA) is the world's second-largest mutual fund company with 15 million shareholders and $600 billion in assets under management. Vanguard pioneered low-cost index mutual funds, and distinguished itself as a champion of superior client service and low investor costs. Andrew Clarke is a senior financial writer at The Vanguard Group. Before joining Vanguard, he worked for Morningstar, Inc., the investment research firm. Mr. Clarke is a Chartered Financial Analyst. Jack Brennan is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Vanguard Group. A graduate of Dartmouth College, Mr. Brennan received a master's degree in business administration from Harvard Business School.

The world of investing normally sees experts telling us the 'right' way to manage our money. How often do these experts pull back the curtain and tell us how they invest their own money? Never. How I Invest My Money changes that. In this unprecedented collection, 25 financial experts share how they navigate markets with their own capital. In this honest rendering of how they invest, save, spend, give, and borrow, this group of portfolio managers, financial advisors, venture capitalists and other experts detail the 'how' and the 'why' of their investments. They share stories about their childhood, their families, the struggles they face and the aspirations they hold. Sometimes raw, always revealing, these stories detail the indelible relationship between our money and our values. Taken as a whole, these essays powerfully demonstrate that there is no single 'right' way to save, spend, and invest. We see a kaleidoscope of perspectives on stocks, bonds, real assets, funds, charity, and other means of achieving the life one desires. With engaging illustrations throughout by Carl Richards, How I Invest My Money inspires readers to think creatively about their financial decisions and how money figures in the broader quest for a contented life. With contributions from: Morgan Housel, Christine Benz, Brian Portnoy, Joshua Brown, Bob Seawright, Carolyn McClanahan, Tyrone Ross, Dasarte Yarnway, Nina O'Neal, Debbie Freeman, Shirl Penney, Ted Seides, Ashby Daniels, Blair duQuesnay, Leighann Miko, Perth Tolle, Josh Rogers, Jenny Harrington, Mike Underhill, Dan Egan, Howard Lindzon, Ryan Krueger, Lazetta Rainey Braxton, Rita Cheng, Alex Chalekian

Discover the (surprising) secret to lifelong financial freedom with real estate investing. Real estate has always been a powerful tool for investing, and many people believe that a single-family home investment strategy will help them achieve their goals. However, the true path to financial freedom using real estate is found in apartment buildings. Real estate investing expert and author Michael Blank learned that once investors did their first deal, the curious "Law of the First Deal" led to the second and third deals in rapid succession. Most were able to quit their jobs within 3-5 years of getting started. Of course, when most people hear "apartment buildings" they immediately assume they need years of investing experience and money saved up to be able get into the game. This simply isn't true. Michael has compiled the results of his research into his new book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing: The Blueprint to Quitting Your Job with Real Estate - Even without Experience or Cash. He's outlined the "Financial Freedom Blueprint" that guides you through your first multifamily deal, even if you have no prior experience or your own cash.
