Indispensability is based on years of service as a senior level Executive Assistant, followed by more than 28 years as a business owner who offers the services of recruiter, consultant, coach and trainer. Synthesizing workforce-related issues as the premise of the book serves to remind us that employees must be skilled and flexible to respond to the new demands of doing business in a global economy, to the merging of complementary businesses and business sectors, to the continued growth of business through acquisition, and to adjustments in personal and business philosophies. Summarizing her belief that a refocused and revitalized workforce will be one of the key components of a robust economy in a fast-shifting social and economic environment, this book outlines strategies that will be required to successfully execute the new, evolving paradigm for success in an interdependent world economy. Indispensability examines the effect of a global workplace on workers, and the urgent need for specialized training or retraining of employees for new career paths. The benefit to employers who provide and encourage opportunities for education and training is employee retention, which also acts as a magnet for new talent by fostering an environment of stability and advancement.
