In past blogs we have talked about the bad and ugly things that go on in business involving Organizational Behavior. Today I am going to talk a little bit about the good side of that same topic. Creative Management Practices for Making Work Work, is an article written by Ellen Galinsky, Tyler Wigton, and Lois Backon about different ideas companies are coming up with in order to keep workers engaged and why they are coming up with these new ideas now. The article talks about the fact that companies are finding it especially important now to help inform there workers about dealing with different situations because of how poor the economy is right now. Companies are informing workers of ways to deal with managing work and home life, welcoming a new baby, as well as dealing with a spouses job loss. With this new information being put out there many people are finding it easier to cope with different challenges and therefore employees are working better and working happier. What are some different ways that you might suggest a manager go about informing employees of challenges they may have? Read the article and write about what may help others through their struggles. Are some struggles inevitable or is there always a way to cope with a situation to reduce stress?
