Why you should read What Happy Companies Know
The concept of ''happiness'' only recently entered mainstream business thought, although wise executives have long understood the importance of having happy employees. Creating a happier workplace makes everyone's job easier and dramatically increases the bottom line. In this blueprint for corporate health, authors Dan Baker, Cathy Greenberg and Collins Hemingway explain why organizations with empowered and motivated workforces can expect to exceed growth expectations. getAbstract strongly recommends this sensible and indispensable guide that's jam-packed with illustrative examples of the best – and worst – business practices in America. Come on – get happy, for fun and profit.
