Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical guide provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and detailed insight into the essential requirements and tasks of a Feelgood Manager. Feelgood Management is a new management concept that expresses the trend towards employee orientation. After customer orientation, employee orientation is considered a central future competence factor in corporate competition, especially in view of the increasing competition on the labor market (shortage of skilled workers, war for talents). The book is aimed at existing and future Feelgood Managers, who on the one hand want to get clarity and understanding about the position and tasks and on the other hand want to deepen or broaden their knowledge in key areas of responsibility. Beyond that, however, this book is useful not only for Feelgood Managers, but for anyone who manages employees. The recognition and consideration of employee needs is a task of personnel management, which is often neglected through no fault of the operational business. The reader is provided with key insights and simple ways to take advantage of Feelgood Management. The book on Feelgood Management provides an introductory overview of the topic. Many practical tips help with the implementation in one's own business. In particular, the following contents are covered: · Introduction to Feelgood Management · Tasks and requirements of the Feelgood Manager at a glance · Further development of the corporate culture Improvement of internal communication Support of the personnel management Self-management of the Feelgood Manager and support of company health management This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Download or read book 40 Days of Dating written by Timothy Goodman and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What would happen if Harry met Sally in the age of Tinder and Snapchat? . . . A field guide to Millennial dating in New York City” (New York Daily News). When New York–based graphic designers and long-time friends Timothy Goodman and Jessica Walsh found themselves single at the same time, they decided to try an experiment. The old adage says that it takes forty days to change a habit—could the same be said for love? So they agreed to date each other for forty days, record their experiences in questionnaires, photographs, videos, texts, and artworks, and post the material on a website they would create for this purpose. What began as a small experiment between two friends became an Internet sensation, drawing five million unique (and obsessed) visitors from around the globe to their site and their story. 40 Days of Dating: An Experiment is a beautifully designed, expanded look at the experiment and the results, including a great deal of material that never made it onto the site, such as who they were as friends and individuals before the forty days and who they have become since.
Download or read book Bridging Occupational Organizational and Public Health written by Georg F. Bauer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our complex, fast changing society, health is strongly influenced by the continuously changing interactions between organisations and their employees. Three major fields contribute to health-oriented improvements of these interactions: occupational health, organizational health and public health. As currently only partial links exist amongst these fields, the book aims to explore potential synergies more systematically. Considering the high mental and social demands in a service and knowledge sector economy, the first part of the book focuses on work-related psychosocial factors. As a large proportion of inequalities in health in developed countries can be explained by inequalities in working conditions, those psychosocial factors with a particularly high public health impact are highlighted. As addressing these psychosocial factors requires to involve the organization as the key change agent, the second part covers approaches to improve public health through organizational level health interventions. The last section takes a look into the future of occupational, organizational and public health: what are the future challenges regarding occupational health and how can they be tackled within and beyond the organizational level. Overall, this integrating book will help to broaden the evidence-base, legitimacy and efficacy of occupational- and organizational-level health interventions and thus increase their public health impact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elsewhere 1 we were concerned with fundamental aspects of the question how man can comprehend his fellow-men. We analyzed man's subjective experiences of the Other and found in them the basis for his understanding of the Other's subjective processes of consciousness. The very assumption of the existence of the Other, however, introduces the dimension of intersub jectivity. The world is experienced by the Self as being inhabited by other Selves, as being a world for others and of others. As we had occasion to point out, intersubjective reality is by no means homogeneous. The social world in which man finds himself exhibits a complex structure; fellow-men appear to the Self under different aspects, to which correspond different cognitive styles by which the Self perceives and apprehends the Other's thoughts, motives, and actions. In the present investigation it will be our main task to describe the origin of the differentiated structures of social reality as well as to reveal the principles underlying its unity and coherence. It must be stressed that careful description of the processes which enable one man to understand another's thoughts and actions is a prerequisite for the methodology of the empirical social sciences. The question how a scientific interpretation of human action is possible can be resolved only if an adequate • From: De, sinnha/te A II/ball tler sowuen WeU, Vienna, 1932; 2nd ed. 1960 (Sektion IV: Strukturanalyse der Sozialwelt, Soziale Umwelt, Mitwelt, Vorwelt, English adaptation by Professor Thomas Luckmann.
Download or read book Butadiene and Styrene written by Marja Sorsa and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both butadiene and styrene are produced in high volumes; their combined annual production is 20 million tons. They occur together in many industrial and commercial products, including latexes, polymers, adhesives, and particularly in styrene-butadiene rubber tires. Styrene was classified in 1987 within IARC criteria as 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans); 1,3-butadiene was placed in class 2A (probably carcinogenic to humans) at the meeting of a working group convened by IARC in 1991. This volume brings together the latest information about the toxic hazards of the two compounds. The focus of research on styrene seems to be its neurotoxicological effects and its potential carcinogenicity. Interest in 1,3-butadiene is much more recent and appears to be directed primarily towards species-specific differences in its carcinogenicity. Papers included in this volume were selected so that current data obtained by ambient and biological monitoring and on genetic toxicity and carcinogenicity are amply covered for both compounds. Seven main areas of research are covered: exposures to butadiene and styrene; estimation of internal doses received by exposed people; measurements of metabolites and of adducts with DNA and protein as markers of exposure; neurotoxicity and reproductive effects; genetic toxicity; carcinogenicity; and implications for public health. New results from epidemiological studies of subjects occupationally exposed to butadiene and to styrene are reported. Special consideration is given to the need for developing and validating biological markers of exposure to butadiene and to styrene in order to measure biological effects and susceptibility in human populations, so that adverse effects can be detected earlier and action taken to reduce public health risks. Information on the mechanisms of carcinogenic action is reviewed, since differences between species with respect to such mechanisms can have a major bearing on the extrapolation to human of findings of carcinogenicity in animals. These topics, representing the 'state of the art' with respect to scientific knowledge about the toxic manifestations and mechanisms of 1,3-butadiene and styrene are all covered in this volume.
Download or read book The Digital Coach written by Stella Kanatouri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to digital media, coaching doesn ́t have to be constrained by geographical and temporal boundaries. Using digital media to facilitate coaching processes however, creates a distinct form of coaching practice that requires additional skill from the coach. The Digital Coach contains insights based on a comprehensive, exploratory research that analysed the discussions of a 1,000 member strong online community of coaches and several interviews with coaches to understand their practical experiences of working with technology. At the same time, the book offers information, insights, and examples that can be readily used by the coaching practitioner. Based on the developments in the field, the book provides suggestions about improving the usability of coaching software, and it offers reflections on how emerging technologies like immersive Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Artificial Intelligence might extend coaching practice. Whilst acknowledging the limitations and potential risks that may arise by integrating digital media in coaching, the book suggests that coaching success doesn’t only depend on media capabilities, but also on the coach. The digital coach develops enhanced coaching skills and adapts coaching practice to the media in use. The book is dedicated to the coaching practitioner who uses digital media or who is considering doing so, and is relevant for coaching supervisors, buyers of coaching services, human resource professionals, and software designers.
Download or read book Spirituality and Corporate Social Responsibility written by David Bubna-Litic and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion and spirituality have often been treated with a secular disdain by management theorists. Recently, the tide has begun to turn and there is a growing openness to cite spirituality in academic analysis and debate, and when considering issues of practical concern to those engaged in the actual business of management. This provocative book brings together a range of leading thinkers to consider the relationship between spirituality and corporate social responsibility. The book's contributors examine spirituality as an inherent dimension of corporate life even if it is only known through its absence - and through the negative consequences of this absence on people and the planet. With contributors from four continents, David Bubna-Litic has assembled a range of fascinating perspectives having their origins in traditions that include Christianity, Process Theology, Hinduism, Contemporary Buddhism, Deep Ecology, Humanism, Post-Modern and Post-Romantic Spirituality. Spirituality and Corporate Social Responsibility is a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in ways in which spirituality relates to what is or what should be driving businesses and organizations to more responsible behaviour.

Book excerpt: A new eye-opener on how we can make better decisions—by the author of Gut Feelings In this age of big data we often trust that expert analysis—whether it’s about next year’s stock market or a person’s risk of getting cancer—is accurate. But, as risk expert Gerd Gigerenzer reveals in his latest book, Risk Savvy, most of us, including doctors, lawyers, and financial advisors, often misunderstand statistics, leaving us misinformed and vulnerable to exploitation. Yet there’s hope. In Risk Savvy, Gigerenzer gives us an essential guide to the science of good decision making, showing how ordinary people can make better decisions for their money, their health, and their families. Here, Gigerenzer delivers the surprising conclusion that the best results often come from considering less information and listening to your gut.
