It is an understatement to say that this is a difficult time to be a part of the American workforce. It is difficult for employees enduring the many seismic shifts in the work they do, the way they do that work, and the people with whom they collaborate in the workplace. And it is difficult for employers facing daunting challenges in hiring, training, retaining, and managing employees; implementing new ways of working; and redefining the work that the organisation will do. This book describes several big workplace challenges that can be positively affected by brain-friendly strategies. Then it applies five “big ideas” from neuroscience to each of these challenges. By learning about these fundamental brain processes and adapting your organisation’s culture to fit them, workplaces can be transformed.
