About Hourly

While the vast majority of business books focus on the white-collar, salaried workforce, this book shines a light on the often-overlooked majority of the US workforce: the  “invisible” hourly workers. In Hourly, we show that success in recruiting and retaining hourly workers requires working against outdated processes and introducing innovations that benefit workers’ lives, employers’ bottom lines, and society as a whole.
