About this title

Synopsis

Ever felt that lurking sense of Sunday night dread?

It’s not just you.

In this warm and empathetic guide to the modern workplace, find out exactly what’s going wrong in your workplace – and how you can improve your working week. Drawing upon expert research and employee interviews, Helen Holmes looks at questions such as:

• Why are some colleagues so headache-inducing?

• How can you focus when you’re being bombarded by emails and meetings?
• Are you being fairly paid relative to your colleagues?

Fear, lack of focus and unfairness can do major damage to workplace culture, but they can be overcome with goodwill, purpose and trust. Holmes offers empathy and pragmatism for anyone who’s ever contemplated quitting their job and running for the hills, and she provides inspiring case studies and practical tips for crafting a better working week, one step at a time.
