A manifesto for making work not just tolerable, but terrific, this research-backed book shatters conventional workplace rules and shows how to build an environment based on empathy, creativity, productivity and support.Using evidence-based arguments to highlight why most companies consistently fail to fully engage their team, coach and leadership consultant Kirsty Hulse approachably shows that with a few achievable shifts in how we think and operate, we can (and should) revolutionize the workplace.&160;In an era where the workforce is increasingly dynamic, diverse and self-aware, Don't Swear at Work challenges the outdated norms that still pervade our work environments. This book delves into the contradictory rules of modern workspaces and, with science on its side, breaks them - and offers new, smarter ways of working (AI not included).While the world of work is increasingly understanding the value of &34;being human&34;, we are not yet at a cultural understanding that these are not just qualities that some people do or do not possess, but that they are instead skills that can be learned, trained, developed and applied. In other words, every single person in any team can be more empathetic, more confident and a great communicator, regardless of their personality.&160;Backed by collected evidence from researchers, scientists and many firsthand stories from fighting on the front line of a corporate revolution, this book practically and joyfully shows how businesses can easily close the gap between ideal and reality.
