Les Règles du Travail

Laszlo Bock

What if work could bring joy instead of exhaustion? This book shows how the best companies create a culture based on trust, freedom, and meaning: They hire not only skilled people, but also caring and engaged ones; they give them a voice, room to grow, and the opportunity to change the world through their work. Work can be inspiring—and this book reveals how.
