CLOSED for registration: It could be so good - In search of influence and the human element in working life
Imagine if we created workplaces with room to be human. To breathe, rather than gasp for it. Where meaning was something that was, rather than something we made up. Where we dared to loosen the grip. It could be as well…
*No-show fee: DKK 450 when canceling after 23 January at 12:00. Further information see below.
NOCA has had the great honor of holding this book launch around the newly published book 'It could be so good - In search of influence and the human in working life' written by the award-winning author and expert in management and psychological working environment Malene Friis Andersen. In addition to hear Malene live and you'll even get a copy of her new book home!
IT COULD BE SO GOOD is a call on behalf of all the employees and managers who experience every day that the influence and meaning in work is disappearing. The research otherwise speaks its own language:
When we have influence, we thrive better, we solve tasks better, we experience belonging and we gain a positive self-understanding. What's not to like?
The reality is just different out in the workplace: the influence and the person are eroded piece by piece and replaced by target management, standardization, fear and control. The disappointing result is stress, resignation and record staff turnover. In many places, the employees are fighting a good fight to regain some of the lost influence. But how long can they last? How long can you last?
The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way. And perhaps it is more straightforward than we think to create the necessary changes before it is too late.
Join this book launch about the book: IT COULD BE SO GOOD which is a serious, humorous, hopeful and innovative book about a working life that has gone off the rails. It contains exercises for reflection, conversation and actions – for managers, employees, HR employees, trade union representatives and for all those who want innovation rather than breakdown in working life.
Would you like to be one of the first to hear Malene Friis dive into her new book? So join this book launch. In the presentation, Malene particularly focuses on how to work with the subject in practice, so that the participants get concrete inspiration to take home.
