In addition, Seeking Fairness at Work has now been named one of the Top 100 Notable Books in the 2025 Shelf Unbound Best Indie Book Competition (Read more about the book on page 111).
This cross-category and multiple competition recognition reflects Hanna’s book’s relevance to leaders, HR professionals, and organizations facing record disengagement, burnout, generational shifts in the workplace, and declining morale.
“Fairness is not a soft concept — it’s the foundation of performance, loyalty, and engagement,” says Hasl-Kelchner. “These awards confirm that organizations are ready to move beyond quick fixes and build workplaces where respect and fairness aren’t slogans, but systems.”
In Seeking Fairness at Work, Hasl-Kelchner reveals the unspoken rules and fairness expectations that silently shape workplace culture. The book offers a research-backed roadmap for rebuilding engagement and retention by strengthening organizational trust, communication, and psychological safety.
Through relatable examples and a modern “Fairness Code,” Hanna’s award-winning book is a masterclass for leaders to:
• Restore trust and transparency.
• Improve communication and consistency.
• Increase employee satisfaction and retention.
• Build fair, accountable, and human-centered cultures.
With turnover costs soaring and employee dissatisfaction at historic heights, the book provides what many workplace guides don’t: a cultural operating system that goes beyond perks and policy to address the root cause of disengagement, perceived unfairness.
