Book excerpt: By anchoring your understanding of productivity in God's plan, What's Best Next gives you a practical approach for increasing your effectiveness in everything you do. There are a lot of myths about productivity--what it means to get things done and how to accomplish work that really matters. In our current era of innovation and information overload, it may feel harder than ever to understand the meaning of work or to have a sense of vocation or calling. So how do you get more of the right things done without confusing mere activity for actual productivity? Matt Perman has spent his career helping people learn how to do work in a gospel-centered and effective way. What's Best Next explains his approach to unlocking productivity and fulfillment in work by showing how faith relates to work, even in our everyday grind. What's Best Next is packed with biblical and theological insight and practical counsel that you can put into practice today, such as: How to create a mission statement for your life that's actually practicable. How to delegate to people in a way that really empowers them. How to overcome time killers like procrastination, interruptions, and multitasking by turning them around and making them work for you. How to process workflow efficiently and get your email inbox to zero every day. How to have peace of mind without needing to have everything under control. How generosity is actually the key to unlocking productivity. This expanded edition includes: a new chapter on productivity in a fallen world a new appendix on being more productive with work that requires creative thinking. Productivity isn't just about getting more things done. It's about getting the right things done--the things that count, make a difference, and move the world forward. You can learn how to do work that matters and how to do it well.

Book The Future of the Office

Download or read book The Future of the Office written by Peter Cappelli and published by Wharton School Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A GLOBE & MAIL BEST BUSINESS BOOK OF 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic forced an unprecedented experiment that reshaped white-collar work and turned remote work into a kind of "new normal." Now comes the hard part. Many employees want to continue that normal and keep working remotely, and most at least want the ability to work occasionally from home. But for employers, the benefits of employees working from home or hybrid approaches are not so obvious. What should both groups do? In a prescient new book, The Future of the Office: Work from Home, Remote Work, and the Hard Choices We All Face, Wharton professor Peter Cappelli lays out the facts in an effort to provide both employees and employers with a vision of their futures. Cappelli unveils the surprising tradeoffs both may have to accept to get what they want. Cappelli illustrates the challenges we face by in drawing lessons from the pandemic and deciding what to do moving forward. Do we allow some workers to be permanently remote? Do we let others choose when to work from home? Do we get rid of their offices? What else has to change, depending on the approach we choose? His research reveals there is no consensus among business leaders. Even the most high-profile and forward-thinking companies are taking divergent approaches: --Facebook, Twitter, and other tech companies say many employees can work remotely on a permanent basis. --Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and others say it is important for everyone to come back to the office. --Ford is redoing its office space so that most employees can work from home at least part of the time, and --GM is planning to let local managers work out arrangements on an ad-hoc basis. As Cappelli examines, earlier research on other types of remote work, including telecommuting offers some guidance as to what to expect when some people will be in the office and others work at home, and also what happened when employers tried to take back offices. Neither worked as expected. In a call to action for both employers and employees, Cappelli explores how we should think about the choices going forward as well as who wins and who loses. As he implores, we have to choose soon.

Book Handbook of Research on Remote Work and Worker Well Being in the Post COVID 19 Era

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Remote Work and Worker Well Being in the Post COVID 19 Era written by Wheatley, Daniel and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the introduction of policies to combat COVID-19, far greater numbers of employees across the globe—including those with limited job autonomy—have moved to undertake their entire job at home. Although challenging in the current climate, embracing these flexible modes of work such as working at home, including relevant investment in technology to enable this, will not only deliver potential organizational benefits but also increase the adaptability of the labor market in the short and longer terms. Although perhaps not the central concern of many in the current climate, “good” home-based work is achievable and perhaps even a solution to the current work-based dilemma created by COVID-19 and should be a common goal for individuals, organizations, and society. Research also has shifted to focus on the routines of workers, organizational performance, and well-being of companies and their employees along with reflections on the ways in which these developments may influence and alter the nature of paid work into the post-COVID-19 era. The Handbook of Research on Remote Work and Worker Well-Being in the Post-COVID-19 Era focuses on the rapid expansion of remote working in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts it has had on both employees and businesses. The content of the book progresses understanding and raises awareness of the benefits and challenges faced by large-scale movements to remote working, considering the wide array of different ways in which the large-scale movement to remote working is impacting working lives and the economy. This book covers how different fields of work are responding and implementing remote work along with providing a presentation of how work occurs in digital spaces and the impacts on different topics such as gender dynamics and virtual togetherness. It is an ideal reference book for HR professionals, business managers, executives, entrepreneurs, policymakers, researchers, students, practitioners, academicians, and business professionals interested in the latest research on remote working and its impacts.

Book Fully Grown

    Book Details:
  • Author : Dietrich Vollrath
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2022-06-24
  • ISBN : 0226820041
  • Pages : 273 pages

Download or read book Fully Grown written by Dietrich Vollrath and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vollrath challenges our long-held assumption that growth is the best indicator of an economy’s health. Most economists would agree that a thriving economy is synonymous with GDP growth. The more we produce and consume, the higher our living standard and the more resources available to the public. This means that our current era, in which growth has slowed substantially from its postwar highs, has raised alarm bells. But should it? Is growth actually the best way to measure economic success—and does our slowdown indicate economic problems? The counterintuitive answer Dietrich Vollrath offers is: No. Looking at the same facts as other economists, he offers a radically different interpretation. Rather than a sign of economic failure, he argues, our current slowdown is, in fact, a sign of our widespread economic success. Our powerful economy has already supplied so much of the necessary stuff of modern life, brought us so much comfort, security, and luxury, that we have turned to new forms of production and consumption that increase our well-being but do not contribute to growth in GDP. In Fully Grown, Vollrath offers a powerful case to support that argument. He explores a number of important trends in the US economy: including a decrease in the number of workers relative to the population, a shift from a goods-driven economy to a services-driven one, and a decline in geographic mobility. In each case, he shows how their economic effects could be read as a sign of success, even though they each act as a brake of GDP growth. He also reveals what growth measurement can and cannot tell us—which factors are rightly correlated with economic success, which tell us nothing about significant changes in the economy, and which fall into a conspicuously gray area. Sure to be controversial, Fully Grown will reset the terms of economic debate and help us think anew about what a successful economy looks like.

Download or read book Out of Office written by Charlie Warzel and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book will challenge you to rethink what it takes to make remote work work—not just for companies, but for people.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife The future isn’t about where we will work, but how. For years we have struggled to balance work and life, with most of us feeling overwhelmed and burned out because our relationship to work is broken. This “isn't just a book about remote work. It's a book that helps us imagine a future where our lives—at the office and home—are happier, more productive, and genuinely meaningful” (Charles Duhigg, best-selling author of The Power of Habit). Out of Office is a book for every office worker – from employees to managers – currently facing the decision about whether, and how, to return to the office. The past two years have shown us that there may be a new path forward, one that doesn’t involve hellish daily commutes and the demands of jam-packed work schedules that no longer make sense. But how can we realize that future in a way that benefits workers and companies alike? Based on groundbreaking reporting and interviews with workers and managers around the world, Out of Office illuminates the key values and questions that should be driving this conversation: trust, fairness, flexibility, inclusive workplaces, equity, and work-life balance. Above all, they argue that companies need to listen to their employees – and that this will promote, rather than impede, productivity and profitability. As a society, we have talked for decades about flexible work arrangements; this book makes clear that we are at an inflection point where this is actually possible for many employees and their companies. Out of Office is about so much more than zoom meetings and hybrid schedules: it aims to reshape our entire relationship to the office.

Book What Jobs are Being Done at Home During the Covid 19 Crisis

Download or read book What Jobs are Being Done at Home During the Covid 19 Crisis written by Alexander W. Bartik and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The threat of COVID-19 has increased the health risks of going to an office or factory, leading more workers to do their jobs remotely. In this paper, we provide results from firm surveys on both small and large businesses on the prevalence and productivity of remote work, and expectations about the persistence of remote work once the COVID-19 crisis ends. We present four main findings. First, while overall levels of remote work are high, there is considerable variation across industries. The Dingel and Neiman (2020) measure of suitability for remote work does a remarkably good job of predicting the industry level patterns of remote work - highlighting the challenge of moving many industries to remote work. Second, remote work is much more common in industries with better educated and better paid workers. Third, in our larger survey, employers think that there has been less productivity loss from remote working in better educated and higher paid industries. Fourth, more than one-third of firms that had employees switch to remote work believe that remote work will remain more common at their company even after the COVID-19 crisis ends

Book The New Normal Work life Balance

Download or read book The New Normal Work life Balance written by Dwayne Anderson and published by Estalontech. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #New Normal Work-Life Balance Are You Struggling To Balance Your Work & Life Amid This NewNormal? Discover How To Get Control of Your Life, Avoid Stress & Burnouts By Maintaining A Proper Balance Between Your Work & Life While Working Remotely During This Pandemic!!! It has been over a year and we’ve seen and done things we’d never imagine! From stockpiling toilet paper, hand sanitizer, fighting over face masks, to working from the couch. Although the frenzy of stockpiling has subsided, we continue to work from home. This Transition Has Been Unfamiliar, But It Has Become Our NEW NORMAL! Everyone fortunate enough to remain employed (as some companies had to shut down offices or undergo major retrenchment) had to instantaneously adapt to the new routine. Here’s something that will surprise you. Ever since the Work-From-Home model has come into effect, work-life balance has been affected. Now, you may be wondering if employees are working from home, wouldn’t that be good for their family life? After all, they are spending most of their time at home, leaving them to have a better work-life balance. The truth is that work-life balance has been highly affected because of the work from home model, and the ‘new normal’. As a matter of fact… Seven in 10 Americans working from home during COVID-19 are struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance. 65% of people admit that now that they’re working remotely, they’re working longer hours than ever before. 56% of people say they’re more stressed about work than ever before when working from home during COVID-19. The average workday lengthened by 48.5 minutes following stay-at-home orders and lockdowns. 40% of remote workers say unplugging after hours is the biggest challenge of working remotely. 67% of people working remotely feel pressure to be available at all hours of the day. 29% of remote workers say they struggle to have a work-life balance, compared to 23% of in-office employees. Though #workfromhome has mostly been a blessing, there are a few drawbacks - the skewed work-life balance is one of them. According to the Harvard Business Review, close to $190 billion is spent on employees facing burnout. A poor work-life balance is one of the major reasons for burnout, and therefore, must be addressed at the earliest. Especially given the unpredictable, often under-pressure workplace environment and the added blurring of lines between work and personal because of the need to work from home more often due to COVID. If you want to have a more balanced life then it’s important to understand what balance even is. Because most people get it wrong and end up feeling stressed, tired, and overworked with no time for themselves, their families, and friends. Well, not anymore… Because we are about to show you what is the right work-life balance and how you can achieve it in the new normal quickly and easily… Learn How To Manage Your Work Environment During This Pandemic To Create A Better Work-Life Balance! A comprehensive guide that will help you to achieve work-life balance as a remote worker, get control of your life and adopt healthy lifestyle changes.

Book Workplace flexibility and working from home during Covid 19 by the example of a financial technology company

Download or read book Workplace flexibility and working from home during Covid 19 by the example of a financial technology company written by Julien Brühl and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 7.4, University of Amsterdam, course: Strategic Communication in Organizations, language: English, abstract: How has workplace flexibility during the Covid-19 pandemic affected everyday working life and employee interrelations? Through the use of qualitative semi-structured interviews, this paper aims to analyze and answer the effect of work-from-home on workplace flexibility, and whether the Covid-19 pandemic plays a role in this. Moreover, the paper aims to understand variables such as autonomy within the workplace, colleague dynamics, and identification with the organization. “I like having the choice to [work from home], but I prefer the office.” Although this quotation portrays employees as viewing workplace flexibility in a positive way, this study has found that this is not always the case. Indeed, at the beginning of the Coronavirus-19 pandemic, the world came to a standstill, and humans experienced lockdowns and restrictions globally. This also included employees of organizations worldwide who were legally required to work from home (WFH) to help minimize the risk of infection between coworkers and in their home-life. With employees encouraged to WFH, their new work modes changed, from going to the office daily to working from home through various computer-mediated communication (CMC) resources, with Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, to name a few. This increase in work-from-home during the pandemic has become the new norm around the world. With the introduction of CMC and an increase in workplace flexibility, such factors could influence how an employee feels about working from home, their identification with the company, their motivation, and whether this has an impact on their overall work performance. Numerous academic papers studying the use of workplace flexibility in different workplace settings have been analyzed to understand whether tensions can arise through this method. In the current study, workplace flexibility is defined as the ability and possibility to decide where, when and how one works and encompasses how, as an employee, you are given the opportunity to decide on the time, location and task features of your work in order to create a balance between work- and home-life.

Book Remote Working

Download or read book Remote Working written by Alan Felstead and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coronavirus pandemic forced work back into the home on a massive scale. The long-held belief that work and home are separate spheres of economic life was turned on its head overnight. Many employees were new to this way of working and many employers had to manage a disparate workforce for the first time. This book reviews what impact this shift had on the lives of millions of employees, the organisations which employ them and the societies in which they live. It also looks to a future in which more work is carried out remotely – at home, in the local café, restaurant or bar, or while moving from place to place. The book syntheses the existing evidence in an accessible and easy-to-read way. It will appeal to all those who want a quick and concise introduction to the major themes associated with remote and hybrid working. This will include teachers, lecturers, students, academics and policy-makers as well as those who have experienced the challenges and benefits of homeworking first-hand.

Book Work from Home Before and After the COVID 19 Outbreak

Download or read book Work from Home Before and After the COVID 19 Outbreak written by Alexander Bick and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on novel survey data, we document the evolution of commuting behavior in the U.S. over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Work from home (WFH) increased sharply and persistently after the outbreak, and much more so among some workers than others. Using theory and evidence, we argue that the observed heterogeneity in WFH transitions is consistent with potentially more permanent changes to work arrangements in some occupations, and not just temporary substitution in response to greater health risks. Consistent with increased WFH adoption, many more -- especially higher-educated -- workers expect to WFH in the future.

This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triggered by the recent COVID-19 catastrophe, working from home has suddenly become the new normal of work practice, particularly for employees. Although the practice of working from home has started long ago during pre-COVID-19, the forceful nature of post-COVID-19 has brought mixed reactions. While some employees smile to being near their family members with similar amount of paycheck, others experience shock, fear, trauma, loneliness, and distraction working from home during the uncertain period of the pandemic lockdown. However, little is known and explored about their new work reality, which had drastically shifted from their leisure office setting to unsettled home office. Deriving from these unprecedented challenges, an issue on working from home is gaining deep interests from a large number of contemporary scholars, university students, researchers, academicians, human resource practitioners, employees, public sectors, policy makers, and consultants. Fulfilling their interests, the author took the initiative to fill the gap by bringing a fresh insight that is greatly useful for all the stakeholders. For those who are still puzzled about the next normal of working from home after the pandemic, this book provides a practical solution. The opening section of this book brings the readers to understand the current reality and future work landscape of working from home, COVID-19 disease trajectory, and global reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, the author discusses the different nature of working from home between the era of pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19. The more serious discussion, however, circumferences on challenges that both employees and employer might face in realizing the new working-from-home procedures. Toward the end of the book, the author offers some practical guideline to HR managers on how to prepare a working-from-home policy that is tailor-made for the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
