    Great article… My complements to the authors and to Baylor… A systematic approach to further employee engagement and loyalty in small to medium sized companies can be accomplished by making the economics of the business transparent and involving all employees to understand, improve and participate in the economics of the business. This approach, often referred to as Open-Book Management has been effective in the over 350 companies I have worked with in the past 20 years. Their employees naturally feel like they are part of the team. It creates the learning organization.
    Often the question is how to proceed. These Harvard Business Review articles provide more background:

    The third HBR article speaks about what we call, Customer-Centric Open Book©, which has been especially effective, by getting the input of both customers and employees. I hope this input is helpful.
