Meet Bob Workman. Bob likes his job. Bob likes his employees. Bob considers himself a good manager but senses low morale among his immediate staff members. 

In this easy-to-read business fable, a chance encounter transforms Bob’s work life as he sets out to discover how fun can revolutionize a worksite and pay big dividends both in morale and return on investment.

Bob discovers that a fun work environment--one which lifts people’s spirits and reminds them of their value to their managers, their organization, and to each other—is a primary need among employees. He sets off on a quest to find ways to create a fun environment and develops a method to produce convincing evidence that creating a fun work environment is worth the time and effort for the company.

Along the way, Bob discovers that fun at work:

·         reduces stress

·         energizes employees and lowers turnover

·         improves both employee attitudes and customer satisfaction

·         lowers absenteeism and increases productivity

·         creates employee loyalty and group cohesiveness

While "fun” has not been viewed as a traditional responsibility of the manager, managers that care about their employees and their bottom line will find The Fun Minute Manager a great tool for actively engaging their employees and positively transforming their workplace. This book is concise, timely, and a rich resource of practical ideas.
