Product Description
Most of us spend years learning by trial and error how to operate effectively in an office environment. It takes time to master those key communication skills, dealing with office politics, core financial awareness, knowing how to put your case across and effective problem solving - the kind of skills and knowledge acquired gradually and sometimes painfully, through experience, books and the odd training course. Imagine a simply written manual that took all those skills and subjects, and set out the very core essentials that everybody needs to know. The individual suddenly has a huge competitive advantage from an early stage of their working life, while the company has a more productive and effective workforce from day one. Everything You Need To Know At Work gives you the experience and knowledge that would normally take many months to acumulate, and tells you what to do when you don't know what to do. For Human Resources: It will help you make your staff more efficient and effective at little expense. It's the perfect subsitute for early experience and the ideal platform for ongoing development. For the individual: Tells you simply and clearly everything you need to know to make you competent and confident in a business environment.

Format:Paperback
This book is a must-read - for anyone who has ever been nervous about making a presentation, unsure about how to deal with his boss, frustrated with having to stay late when everyone else manages to finish on time. There are a thousand tips in this book that will make you work faster and better. As a business graduate who has been working for four years, I only wish someone had handed me a book like this when I left university. Every graduate should read this book to make the move from college to the working world as trouble-free as possible. Anyone already in the workplace should have it as an essential reference. It tells you what you're doing right and where you're going wrong. Ten out of ten.

This is an excellent book, full of practical and valuable advice about surviving in the workplace. In addition to the excellent sections around key business skills, the honesty with which softer issues are addressed (e.g. office politicking) gives the reader a real headstart in avoiding the pitfalls of corporate life. All too often, business guides gloss over the daily reality to focus on the glamour of the boardroom - this book actually confronts the issues and offers sensible tips and solutions.
HR departments would do well to read this book, in order to discover the real issues facing employees and to gain an insight into the more abstract problems which affect the performance of their new recruits.
Far more interesting and better value than any training course - the author clearly knows her stuff.

The book is a real gem. The simple manner in which the author condenses vast and diverse business practices, situations and areas is nothing short of brilliant. This book will appeal to everyone. I've been working in business for over twenty years and I still find myself learning and consulting its many useful tips and checklists. Another true benefactor is my twenty-two year old son. Fresh from graduation and already stuck into a hectic city life working with one of the big accounting firms, this book has become his bible. I would urge any young businessman starting out or indeed any wise businessman, to keep a copy of this somewhere close by. A true must. Simply put and simply brilliant.
