 Just got this by email Now, this is some place to work.We already knew that working for Google had certain advantages, but, believe me, this giant of the search motor takes the welfare of its employees seriously .. as shown by this decompression (stress) capsule that is impermeable to sound and light …

Moving around: A slide allows quick access from different floors … There are also poles available … They are similar to the ones used in fire stations.

Food. Employees can eat all they want from a vast choice of food and drink.

Work Station: Each employee has at least two large screens.
There are 4-6 ‘Zooglers’ per office.

INOVATION: Large boards are available just about everywhere because

‘ideas don’t always come when seated in the office’ says one of Googles managers.  

LEISURE. Pool tables, video games etc. are available in many areas. Communication… On each floor, there are private cabin areas where employees can attend to personal affairs.

Technical Support: Problem with your computer ?

No problem … Bring it to this area where drinks are available while it is being fixed …    Health: Professional masseurs (eusses) available.

REST … This room provides massage chairs that you control … while you view relaxing aquariums …

  Ambiance … There are many books in this library … even some about programming !!

My questions are .. when do they work? How much do they pay to work there? And where do I send my application?

There is an interesting article about Work Disability called Dutch disease, in a article written here;

http://www.expatica.com/nl/articles/news/work-disability-the-dutch-disease-34.html

A summary of it’s causes could be describe in the following two lines:

Currently a million people are in the WAO system with a third of the claimants off with “psychological” problems. Depression, anxiety, stress — the generic Dutch term “overspannen” covers the lot.

It is very complicated problem. In my opinion people do it because the state makes allowances and allows them too. On the other hand (this is a very long discussion) there is sort intolerance for people because they are told they have to be tolerant and everything is supposedly fair on paper in Holland. What ends up happening is that they become so reliant on the state that the state has to tell them when to be happy. Now of course the last sentence is not true. Why do Dutch work so hard? (and they do the rest of the population) May also hold key to the problem. In Holland they have high tax and one class society so they not really going to get mega rich. I personal think they are escaping from some complex for some thing in their history, but not being Dutch historian the trail runs dries. I would love to hear other peoples comments on this one.

A fundamental key to getting the work/job done is insuring that you carry your colleagues/customers support and if your work in the public sectors then the general public too.

What is winning the argument?

If you are responsible for implementing any sort of change with in an organisation than you are going to have to convince different parties of your intentions and that the project is going to benefit them so that you can gain there support and help in implementing the project.

It is necessary with all projects to go through a consultative process and allow the people that will be effected by the change to contribute to the process. More than lightly you will face some resistance to your ideas. Your job is to demonstrate how your ideas will be effective and calm the user fears. If you are confident about project one can prepare for this by listing potential problems/fears users may have. By setting this out on paper you will be saving your self time in the future and will prepare the path for a smother transaction.

When I talk about winning the argument. I am talking about rational working through of concerns and demonstrating the effects of the concerns people may have. Some people may say that different opinions mean that both parties are right. While this may be the case with some moral issues. Implement projects has nothing to do that with that. If the goals are clearly defined. For example: The goal of this project is to implement a new security systems for five thousand employees in unobtrusive way. One would have to make decisions that insured these goals are met. While there may appear to be much scope in the process when it is refined down it is quite distinct and clear.

The end result of this, is that time is saved, you win the argument and the job gets done.

 A recent report suggest that female directors of UK firms work longer days than their male counterparts but earn, on average, 19 percent (around 14,000) a year less. Although the pay gap has narrowed by five percent since last year, it shows that even those woman who break through the glass ceiling and reach board level will find another roof over their heads. How do senior decision makers understand how to enable these woman to succeed. Thoughts anyone?

How many of us take the time to make our surroundings how we want them to be. How many managers actually take the time to see what effect different work places has on the employees. A few years ago I spent some time looking at feng shue. I was convinced that while I was studying the art of energy flow that it would do wonders for my career and home life. I was wrong. Afterwards I viewed Feng Shui suspiciously, but as usual what comes round goes around and I do think making your office your sanctum is important it is your space. Here are some tips,

Your computer can be customized in just about every way possible. Some examples; text read out, size of fonts, colour of applications, dictation the list is endless spend some time to insure that you have your computer doing its job, otherwise you will have to sack it (no slackers tolerated)

Make sure that you are comfortable in your chair and it is at the right height.

Make sure your screen is also at the right height. ( I realise while I am writing this that mine is not at eye level)

Make sure your paper files are ordered and correct in a way that you can understand.

Have something on your desk that makes you smile, A photograph, a silly postcard etc.

Have something on your desk that reminds you of your reason for doing what you do. ( I use three point triangle representing energy flows and a self made fish from my son)

The most important thing to remember is to have some fun, so if you need a break take a break, if you need to sit back and do nothing then do that, your brain is still working and probably more when you are not physically working.

We have to day been working on a printer problem. we needed to replace quite a bit of the electronics.

The only problem was we could not gain access to the part we needed. After searching on the internet brought no results.

We turned the device upside down and where able to locate a spring key which removed the undercarraige. allowing us access the part and solve the problem.

Hence the biggest problems are solved by the simplest solutions. I like that motto….
