Creating Engaged Employees

It's Worth the Investment

By: William J. Rothwell,Catherine Baumgardner,Jennifer Myers

Maintaining high employee engagement is key to business success. Research shows that many members of today’s workforce feel overworked and underappreciated—all factors that attribute to high turnover, low customer satisfaction, increased incidences of health and safety problems, and low productivity and profitability. Engaged employees, on the other hand, feel recognized, encouraged, and supported—they demonstrate enthusiasm, inspiration, and pride in their jobs. Despite work demands and pressure, they successfully achieve their individual and team goals. Creating Engaged Employees uses practical wisdom and scholarly research to answer: What is employee engagement? What makes someone engaged or disengaged? How can we measure employee engagement? How can organizations engage employees? How can organizations keep employees engaged without causing burnout?

Feminist History in Canada

New Essays on Women, Gender, Work, and Nation

By: Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of History Nancy Janovicek,Catherine Carstairs

In the late 1970s, feminists urged us to "rethink" Canada by placing women's experiences at the centre of historical analysis. Forty years later, women's and gender historians continue to take up the challenge, not only to interrogate the idea of nation but also to place their work in a global perspective. This volume showcases the work of scholars who draw on critical race theory, postcolonial theory, and transnational history to re-examine familiar topics such as biography and oral history, paid and unpaid work, marriage and family, and women's political action. Taken together, these exciting new essays demonstrate the continued relevance of history informed by feminist perspectives.

Carroll County

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Carroll County

By: Catherine Baty

Carroll County, in central Maryland, was created in 1837 out of the western part of Baltimore County and the eastern part of Frederick County, making it one of the last counties created in the state. It takes its name from Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He lived the longest of all the signers, dying a few years before the county's founding. Carroll County's location has influenced its history, bringing together Mason and Dixon, the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland Railroads, the Union Army of the Potomac, J. E. B. Stuart's Confederate cavalry, and the rural free delivery of mail. Settled by Pennsylvania Germans along the northern border and English settlers in the south, its diverse heritage is reflected in the cities of Westminster, Hampstead, Manchester, Mount Airy, New Windsor, Sykesville, Taneytown, Union Bridge, and the crossroad communities of Linwood, Patapsco, and Union Mills.

Everyday Women's and Gender Studies

Introductory Concepts

By: Ann Braithwaite,Catherine M. Orr

Everyday Women’s and Gender Studies is a text-reader that offers instructors a new way to approach an introductory course on women’s and gender studies. This book highlights major concepts that organize the diverse work in this field: Knowledges, Identities, Equalities, Bodies, Places, and Representations. Its focus on "the everyday" speaks to the importance this book places on students understanding the taken-for granted circumstances of their daily lives. Precisely because it is not the same for everyone, the everyday becomes the ideal location for cultivating students’ intellectual capacities as well as their political investigations and interventions. In addition to exploring each concept in detail, each chapter includes up to five short recently published readings that illuminate an aspect of that concept. Everyday Women’s and Gender Studies explores the idea that "People are different, and the world isn’t fair," and engages students in the inevitably complicated follow-up question, "Now that we know, how shall we live?

Cost-effective Marketing Strategies for Businesses, Employees and Customers

By: Catherine Prentice

Marketing is generally an expensive practice of facilitating exchanges of values, goods and services to maximise benefits for the stakeholders. In most cases, the return on marketing investments is minimal or fails to justify the endeavours. This book introduces cost-effective marketing strategies that require minimal organisational resources to achieve organisational benefits including financial outcomes and the wellbeing of employees and customers. These strategies are approached from 1) the human perspective; 2) the product perspective; and 3) the technological perspective, for instance, the use of artificial intelligence. This book begins with addressing employee wellbeing and performance, followed by customer wellbeing and loyalty with non-organisational factors. For employees, this book discusses how employees’ personal traits and volitional activities can shape their wellbeing and performance, and subsequently organisational wellbeing. Subsequently, this book discusses how customers’ mindfulness, self-determination, social motives, and volitional engagement are related to their relationships with business organisations. Moving from customer psychological antecedents, the book discusses how product traits and external forces influence consumer purchases.

The F Word

How We Learned to Swear by Feminism

By: Jane Caro,Catherine Fox

How is it possible that, even in the 21st century, women carry the burden of guilt for having a messy home? Why is motherhood still a career killer? Why are women paid so much loss than men? How has 'feminism' become the 'F' word?" "In their lively, insightful and warm-hearted book, feminists Jane Caro and Catherine Fex look around and find that sexual inequality is still frighteningly prevalent. Yet they also find that while life for women may be busy, it's better than over before. The F Word addresses the big issues facing women and men and provides practical suggestions for tackling them, for forgiving ourselves, and not giving up while holding it all together."--BOOK JACKET.

Westminster

By: Catherine Baty,Historical Society of Carroll County

William Winchester established Westminster in 1764 by laying out 45 town lots along the main road to Baltimore. The lots sold quickly, and soon there was a small but thriving community. When Carroll County was established in 1837, Westminster was named the county seat, bringing government officials, judges, lawyers, and visitors to the town. Hotels, homes, and stores sprang up to serve the influx of new residents and visitors. The Western Maryland Railway reached Westminster in 1861. In 1863, Confederate general J. E. B. Stuart's cavalry arrived en route to Gettysburg and battled a small detachment of Union cavalry responsible for guarding the vital railroad link to Baltimore. After Stuart's troops continued on to Pennsylvania, Union troops established an important depot, with supplies arriving from Baltimore for transport to the battlefield and wounded soldiers returning to be cared for in Westminster's hotels, churches, and homes. Westminster prospered throughout the 19th and 20th centuries as it became the center of an industrial and agricultural community.

Republic of Taste

Republic of Taste

Art, Politics, and Everyday Life in Early America

By: Catherine E. Kelly

Since the early decades of the eighteenth century, European, and especially British, thinkers were preoccupied with questions of taste. Whether Americans believed that taste was innate—and therefore a marker of breeding and station—or acquired—and thus the product of application and study—all could appreciate that taste was grounded in, demonstrated through, and confirmed by reading, writing, and looking. It was widely believed that shared aesthetic sensibilities connected like-minded individuals and that shared affinities advanced the public good and held great promise for the American republic. Exploring the intersection of the early republic's material, visual, literary, and political cultures, Catherine E. Kelly demonstrates how American thinkers acknowledged the similarities between aesthetics and politics in order to wrestle with questions about power and authority. Judgments about art, architecture, literature, poetry, and the theater became an arena for considering political issues ranging from government structures and legislative representation to qualifications for citizenship and the meaning of liberty itself. Additionally, if taste prompted political debate, it also encouraged affinity grounded in a shared national identity. In the years following independence, ordinary women and men reassured themselves that taste revealed larger truths about an individual's character and potential for republican citizenship. Did an early national vocabulary of taste, then, with its privileged visuality, register beyond the debates over the ratification of the Constitution? Did it truly extend beyond political and politicized discourse to inform the imaginative structures and material forms of everyday life? Republic of Taste affirms that it did, although not in ways that anyone could have predicted at the conclusion of the American Revolution.
