Discover how healthy buildings, culture, and people lead to high profitsOrganizations and employees now spend an average of $18,000 per year per employee for health costs, a 61% increase in 10 years. Every indicator projects these costs will double before 2030. This is an unsustainable path. These costs are the tip to an even bigger iceberg, the hidden costs of time out of the office, distraction, disengagement, and turnover. The Healthy Workplace Nudge explains the findings of research on 100 large organizations that have tackled the problems of employee health costs and disengagement in five fresh ways:* Well-being leads to health and high performance* Wake up to the fact that 95% of traditional wellness programs fail to improve health or lower costs* Behavioral economics has become a new powerful tool to nudge healthy behavior* Healthy buildings are now cost effective and produce your strongest ROI to improving health* Leaders who develop healthy cultures achieve sustainable high performance and employee wellbeingIn addition to proving highly effective, these approaches represent a fraction of the cost sunk into traditional wellness and engagement programs. The book explains how to create a workplace that is good for people, releases them to what they do best and enjoy most, and produces great and profitable work.* Find actionable strategies and tactics you can put into use today* Retain happy, productive talent* Cut unnecessary spending and boost your bottom line* Benefit from real-world research and proven practice If you're a leader who cares about the health and happiness of your employees, a human resource professional, or a professional who develops, designs, builds, or outfits workplace environments to improve employee health and wellbeing, this is one book you'll want to have on hand.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR A GUIDE TO FINANCIAL REGULATION "Having been a Fintech venture capital investor for many years now, I am keenly aware of the importance of regulation. Indeed, one of the main issues I encountered when assessing a potential investment is how well-versed the founding team is when it comes to regulatory matters. This will most assuredly be even more important going forward. As such, I am delighted to see Stefan, a Fintech expert I rely on often and who I hold in great respect, covering financial regulatory matters and how important they are for entrepreneurs in his new book. If you are serious about Fintech, please read this book." --Pascal Bouvier, Fintech VC "If you think of regulation as too hard, you'll either end up in jail or fail for having never tried. In a world where tech is colliding with finance it's great that someone's finally written the missing manual!" --Simon Vans-Colina, Monzo "Successfully engaging with regulation will differentiate winners from losers in Fintech, and this book offers a strong foundation for founders and investors alike." --Sid Singh, Fintech Investments, US Bulge Bracket Bank "Stefan lucidly and succinctly captures the essence of relevant regulation for Fintech firms. His book is a very helpful summary of regulatory and risk management priorities." --Jonathan Howitt, Board Member, Professional Risk Managers' International Association

Proven principles for sustainable success, with new leadership insightPEAK is the popular, transformative guide to doing business better, written by a seasoned entrepreneur/CEO who has disrupted his favorite industry not once, but twice. Author Chip Conley, founder and former CEO of one of the world's largest boutique hotel companies, turned to psychologist Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs at a time when his company was in dire need. And years later, when the young founders of Airbnb asked him to help turn their start-up home sharing company into a world-class hospitality giant, Conley once again used the principles he'd developed in PEAK. In the decade since this book's first edition, Conley's PEAK strategy has been developed on six continents in organizations in virtually every industry. The author's foundational premise is that great leaders become amateur psychologists by understanding the unique needs of three key relationships--with employees, customers, and investors--and this message has resonated with every kind of leader and company including some of the world's best-known, from Apple to Facebook. Avid users of PEAK have found that the principles create greater loyalty and differentiation with their key stakeholders. This new second edition includes in-depth examples of real-world PEAK companies, including the author's own at Airbnb, and exclusive PEAK leadership practices that will take you--and your company's performance--to new heights.Whether you're at a startup or a Fortune 500 company, at a for-profit, nonprofit, or governmental organization, this book can help you and your people reach potential you never realized you had.* Understand how Maslow's hierarchy makes for winning business practices* Learn how PEAK drove some of today's top businesses to success* Help employees reach their full potential--and beyond* Transform the customer experience and keep investors happyThe PEAK framework succeeds because it elevates the business from the inside out. These same principles apply in the boardroom, the breakroom, and your living room at home, and have proven to be the foundation of healthy, fulfilled lives. Even if you think you're doing great, you could always be doing better--and PEAK gives you a roadmap to the next level.
