Dbas, work smart now!

Book review of “Work Smart Now” by Richard Polak. Polak is a thirty-five-year HR veteran, congressional advisor, and a world leader in creating compassionate strategies to increase employee productivity.

Polak discusses real life examples and explanations throughout chapters such as:

• Compassionate Productivity Versus Traditional Performance Incentives
• What Defines a Great Workplace?
• Culture in a Box
• The Five Buckets of Productivity
• About Remote Work
• Do Not Fight Change
• Working from Home Boosts Job Satisfaction and Employee Retention
• Productivity and Engagement Tips
• Absenteeism
• Presenteeism
• Clear Communication About Leave Options
• Find the Right Balance

A couple of takeaways I found of interest

• Compassionate productivity means a company recognizes employees are humans with their own struggles, triumphs, goals, and motivations that results in better work.
• If you can maximize productivity, your company will increase revenues.
• Stop wasting time and stressing to improve your quality of life.

DBA colleagues, stop working harder and WORK SMART NOW!! I give the book “Work Smart Now” by Richard Polak, a thumbs up. Right?
