While the morale of an organization is an intangible element composed of feelings and attitudes of individuals and groups, the effects of morale include tangible and extremely important factors such as profits, efficiency, quality, and productivity. Low morale and its costliest indicator, high turnover, can be a tremendous drain on a company's finances. Managers often view morale as mysterious and unpredictable, when in fact it is a measurable, controllable expense. The High Cost of Low Morale explores the underlying causes of low morale and offers you field-proven, practical methods for increasing morale and reducing turnover in your organization.
In a world of secrecy and espionage, two rival spies must team up against a common enemy, forcing them to confront their growing feelings for each other while their loyalties are put to the ultimate test.
Every business -- no matter the size -- can benefit from outwardly demonstrating to their employees how important they are. Most companies are stuck doing the same old thing over and over again.

People who tried her first book on the subject will find hundreds more exciting and easy-to-implement activities, events, awards, and forms of recognition that can be put together quickly and effectively. Perfect for companies of all sizes -- in fact, some of the ideas came from Fortune 500 companies and successful entrepreneurial startups.

A double is haunting the world--the double of abstraction, the virtual reality of information, programming or poetry, math or music, curves or colorings upon which the fortunes of states and armies, companies and communities now depend. The bold aim of this book is to make manifest the origins, purpose, and interests of the emerging class responsible for making this new world--for producing the new concepts, new perceptions, and new sensations out of the stuff of raw data. "A Hacker Manifesto" deftly defines the fraught territory between the ever more strident demands by drug and media companies for protection of their patents and copyrights and the pervasive popular culture of file sharing ...
