The Power Of Staff Networks

I describe how the book explores how Staff Networks can exert influence within an organisation:

“Staff networks have power; staff networks can be harnessed to create change. They are not just a tick box exercise to boost popularity. They genuinely have the potential to create value within an organisation”

Value Creation

I discuss how Staff Networks can enhance the outcomes for an organisation

“a beacon which can shine a light on innovation and creative cooperation cutting across all levels of an organisation”, this clearly positions staff networks as an operational entity, not just a social one.”

Interdisciplinary Approach

I explain why it’s important to draw from several fields in order to be successful:

“The book contains lots of resources from academics and frameworks from practitioners but it also makes small but regular references to management and organisational theory”
