Ever felt that lurking sense of Sunday night dread?
In this warm and empathetic guide to the modern workplace, Helen Holmes tackles precisely what's going wrong in your workplace - and how you can improve your working week. Drawing upon expert research and employee interviews, she answers questions such as: Why does that difficult colleague refuse to take ownership of anything? What can I do about the constant data overload of email and meetings? Why am I still not being paid fairly?
Holmes proposes that fear, a lack of focus, and a lack of fairness are at the core of workplace challenges, and outlines how goodwill, purpose and trust can overcome them.
Written for you as an employee, this book offers empathy and pragmatism for anyone who's ever contemplated quitting their job and running for the hills. Instead, Holmes gives inspiring case studies and practical tips for crafting a better working week, one step at a time.
As a product management specialist and author, Helen Holmes has spent twenty years combining a career in technology with writing and journalism. Her five previous fiction books (Oxford University Press and others) have been translated into six languages. A 2015 Timewise Power List winner, Holmes illustrates a Forbes column on fintech and is a regular contributor to successful satirical news site The Daily Mash.
