Stakeholder Management and Total Rewards Library

This Stakeholder Management Forum and Library for Leaders, Academics, and Investors brings together the research of academics and the practical experience of organizations around the world to help foster a living resource and discussion for best practices in the design, implementation, and impact measurement of stakeholder engagement strategies and tactic.

Audience. The audience includes organizational management and practitioners at all levels, academics and students, the investment community and business media seeking alternatives to shareholder capitalism and Democratic Socialism to enhance capitalism and society.

What's unique? A focus on tactical implementation. Unlike education programs that focus on the strategic issues of stakeholder management across the enterprise, the EEA forum addresses the lack of education on the practical implementation at the front lines of stakeholder management, enterprise engagement and total rewards. This hampers the impact of the hundreds of billions of dollars estimated to be spent each year to engage people through communications in all its forms, learning, innovation and collaboration, job design, rewards and recognition, analytics, in a way that harmonizes rather than siloes the interests of all stakeholders.

How value is created. This free information resource and forum for ongoing discussion combines regular live Zoom meetings that are recorded and published the following week on the EEA YouTube Stakeholder Management channel and in EEA media, as well as in the EEA's regularly updated library of research and resources below.

Content is organized under two related topics: Stakeholder Engagement and Total Rewards.

Forum discussions include Zoom meetings with experts across academia, industry leaders and practitioners, consultants, marketing and sales management, investors, and inspirational and motivational speakers related to people management. These are not only marketed in ESM media and published in the library below,

The purpose of the EEA forum is to support collaboration between industry, academia, and investors to promote better practices and to make research, case studies and reports on stakeholder management available to the broadest possible audience of business leaders and practitioners, academia, students, investors and other interested parties. The content is not only published in the library below for ongoing access, it is incorporated into the updating of our practical implementation guides: Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap, and Enterprise Engagement for CEOs--the Little Blue Book for People Centric Capitalists.

Topic Stewards and Impact Council Contributors

To help facilitate forum discussions on critical topics, leaders in critical areas of stakeholder engagement have stepped up to serve as topic stewards to co-host the Forum discussions and provide other input into their topic area. Other topic stewards on other areas of stakeholder management and total rewards will be named in the coming months.
