“Indispensable Employees: How to Hire Them. How to Keep Them,” by internationally recognized management consultant, author and keynote speaker, Martha R.A. Fields, explores the compelling demographic and technological changes that are forcing organizations to create new strategies to hold on to their best workers despite the outrageous perks and salaries that their competitors are offering. 

Consider these facts in the book:
--Over the next five years, there will only be one percent new people of workforce age entering the workplace and 85% of them will be women, immigrants and people of color.
--We are an aging workforce with about 74% of people at age 37 and above. But what happens when Generation X (about 26% of the population) rules because of their advanced technological skills? They are the "experienced" ones and are faced with supervising people who are their parents, grandpa and nana's age.  Simply put, because Baby Boomers had millions of fewer children for 25 years (1965-1990) there are less people entering the workforce today. The employees you have today are who you'll have to work with tomorrow. Increasingly ‘Indispensable Employees’ will be darker, grayer, have accents and be female.  Fields combines her wisdom of over 25 years in human resources and management to empower employees with concrete, practical, tried and true strategies.

The book is available at bookstores nationwide.
