"The Happy Company" is the second book I've read by Can Akdeniz. I admire and agree with hisbusiness philosophy that companies do better when their employees are happier.  In this book, hegives examples of major companies that have put their employee's happiness first and reaped rewards.Akdeniz shows how companies like Nike, GE, and Facebook have put high priority on happy corporateculture and how that plays a major part in their success. Some, like Hasbro, routinely give theiremployees a half day. While it may appear risky to lose that much in productivity, Akdeniz shows howthis policy has made workers feel appreciated, and as a result they flourish.I highly recommend this book for anyone who manages others. It's an inspiring look on a better wayto manage employees.
