Hanna Hasl-Kelchner is a multi-award winning author who takes an unflinching look at business leadership by speaking truth to power. She was named one of 9 Top Impact Authors for the 2024 Annual Goody Business Book Awards for receiving 3+ awards in 1 year.

Clarion Foreward Reviews calls her recent book Seeking Fairness at Work: Cracking the New Code of Greater Employee Engagement, Retention & Satisfaction “pithy and persuasive,” while BookLife Review compares it to Kim Scott’s Radical Respect and Kim Dabb’s You Belong Here.

Her strength as an author, speaker, and consultant rests in the unique perspective she brings to the conversation: growing up in an entrepreneurial family, running a business before age 30, and blending it with decades practicing business law.

These experiences enable her to successfully bridge the social psychological, legal, and practical aspects of workplace dynamics, allowing her to be a trusted advisor to influential decision makers ranging from startups to the S&P 500, Big Tobacco, and the White House, as well as serving on the faculty at two top-ranked MBA programs (The Duke University Fuqua School of Management and the University of Virginia, Darden School of Business).

Hanna is best known for her work as a business strategist, host of her popular syndicated podcast, Business Confidential Now, and member of the editorial board of the Journal of Business Ethics Education.

Seeking Fairness at Work: Cracking the New Code of Greater Employee Engagement, Retention & Satisfaction

Picture

Business

​Seeking Fairness at Work investigates the unwritten rules at work—rules that, when broken, create organizational discord and dysfunction; and how fairness neutralizes these toxic norms.

Recognized business strategist and Journal of Business Ethics Education editorial board member Hanna Hasl-Kelchner, MBA, JD makes the psychological and practical aspects of workplace dynamics accessible and actionable by identifying the five most common workplace norms that betray fairness, leaving employees feeling dispirited, disengaged, and headed for the door by examining how human motivational needs intersect with the implied workplace social contract.

Using evidence-based science, academic research, interviews, and real-life stories, Hasl-Kelchner identifies over 100 Fairness Factors and exposes why traditional means of improving employee engagement, retention and satisfaction inevitably fall short and are persistently stubborn.

Discover the proven five-part framework, filled with practical tips any leader can use to restore harmony and let employee engagement thrive, including chapters on how to:

Rebuild Trust with More Self-Awareness
Improve Relationship Chemistry with More Empathy
Make Genuine Accountability a Cornerstone
Maintain a Cultural Safety Net
Mend the Structural Safety Net

Seeking Fairness at Work is ideal for executives, managers, and entrepreneurs who want to raise their employees’ game instead of their defenses; the human resource professionals, consultants, and employment attorneys who advise them; and employees wanting a reality check of their own workplace experiences.​
