A cold corporate culture is not to be confused with workplace harassment, which is illegal. Rather, it is a culture which tends toward rigidity, where efficiency is stressed and friendliness and informality discouraged. This impersonal emphasis on productivity is on the rise and is the cause of a good deal of workplace stress. If you are concerned about stress in the workplace and have ever wished there were a fresh approach available to successfully cope with it, then How to Succeed in Business by Really Trying is for you.

 

Not a quick fix, secret remedy or a magic bullet, How to Succeed in Business by Really Trying offers thirty pages of practical hands-on tools that help improve your sense of satisfaction in the workplace. Unaddressed workplace stress can lead to serious emotional and physical health problems such as depression, loss of appetite, backaches, ulcers, drug and alcohol abuse and more.
