Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the benefits of implementing a six-hour workday in industrial settings, specifically regarding labor productivity and efficiency. Leverhulme argues that decreasing the number of work hours can actually increase output and improve the overall quality of life for workers. Drawing on his experience in the chemical industry, he provides case studies and practical recommendations for implementing this shift.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Six-Hour Shift and Industrial Efficiency Progressive American employers are little troubled to-day by lack of capital. Also they very generally understand how to embody capital in plants and equipment that are technically up-to-date and efficient. It is not these factors that limit production but rather the failure of employees to put forth their best efforts. There are various explanations of this failure. Some employers say that the workers have deteriorated. Others place the blame on restrictions on output deliberately decided upon in the belief that the less work each does the more employment there will be for all. Whatever degree of truth there may be in these or other explanations, it is obvious that the root cause lies in the workers' indifference. Outside of the factory, American wage-earners are alert and intelligent enough. The trouble is that as factory employments have become more and more minutely subdivided, the tasks to be performed by each worker are no longer very interesting in themselves, and the consciousness of partnership with the employer in the common enterprise which might save the worker from degenerating into a human automaton is too often lacking. This unfortunate situation is not peculiar to American industry. British employers deplore the unresponsiveness of the British wage-earner as bitterly, and apparently with as good reason, as do American employers that of the American wage-earner. Happily all British employers are not mere fault-finders. The great merit of the chapters that follow is that they deal with this central problem of modern industry, the indifference of the worker, not negatively but constructively.

This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE "six-hour day," or "six-hour shift," is an expression that has caused employers many sleepless nights. It is rather startling, perhaps, to come upon those three little words, especially at a time when strikes are called for the purpose merely of reducing a nine- or even a ten-hour day to an eight-hour day. What is the six-hour shift plan? A Utopian dream, a plank in the Socialist platform? An attempt to restrict production? By no means. It is the result of years of experiment by one of the ablest business men of Great Britain. William Lever, one of the outstanding figures in the English manufacturing and political world, is no dreamer of abstract, far-distant ideal communities; his object is to increase the efficiency of English labor for the purpose of competing with American trade. The six-hour shift plan, taken together with the corollary co-partnership plan, is the ...basis of William Lever's campaign. In "The Six-Hour Shift and Industrial Efficiency" he has collected the more important of his public utterances bearing upon his dual plan, and on these he bases his plea for the establishment of a common-sense readjustment of the claims of capital and labor. William Lever is, of course, something more than a business man: he is a psychologist. "So long," he declares, "as the workman's life is passed in monotonous toil in factory and workshop from daybreak to sunset, no wages, however high, can make up for this separation from all that is highest and best in life; the workman is not content to be exhausted in the task of providing food, shelter, and clothing for himself, wife, and children, with practically no leisure for other pursuits." It is obvious that the highest efficiency cannot be expected from the laborer who has not time for anything but efficiency. But why six hours? The Englishman does not enter into a long disquisition regarding the exact number of hours that ought to be spent at the machine or in the counting house; he speaks out of his own experience. He says: "But we have learned much during the last three years on the subject of fatigue, overwork, and excessively long working hours. We have proved conclusively that prolonged hours of toil... produce, after a certain point, actually smaller results in quantity, quality, and value than can be produced in fewer hours when there is an entire absence of overstrain or fatigue." Consequently, "We must have a six-hour working day for men and women, and by means of six-hour shifts for men and women we must work our machinery twelve, eighteen, or twenty-four hours per day." Work the machines, then, twenty-four hours a day, but work the machinists no more than a quarter of a day. Long hours for human beings mean decreased, not increased, efficiency. "We must remember the deadening effect of general factory life.... -"The Literary Digest," Vol. 66, Pt. 2 [1920]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Fatigue and Efficiency The object of this book is to give a fairly complete account of our present-day knowledge concerning Industrial Fatigue and its influence on Efficiency. The information adduced relates only to workshop practice, as laboratory investigations on fatigue, though holding out promise of useful results in the future, have hitherto not afforded much evidence of direct and practical value. I have not attempted to discuss Scientific Management, for I have very little first-hand knowledge of it, and, moreover, the subject is so large a one that it needs independent treatment. For similar reasons I have not attempted to deal with Vocational Selection in industry. I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my indebtedness to Professor E. L. Collis for his kindness in reading through my manuscript, and for making many useful suggestions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
