At Google, the Science of Working Better by: Christopher Mims WSJ Mar 30, 2015

SUMMARY: “Honestly, work just sucks for too many people,” says Laszlo Bock, head of human resources at Google Inc. That, he says, is why he is so eager to give away the lessons he has learned in the course of taking Google from 3,000 to 53,000 employees since his arrival in 2006. Mr. Bock’s evangelical zeal has many expressions. He has a new book out April 4 called “Work Rules!” (Note the exclamation point.) He frequently speaks at conferences on both coasts, including one hosted by Google itself, called re:Work. (Note the provocative typography.) And he advises a startup, called BetterWorks, which is putting some of his ideas into practice by turning them into software to which companies can subscribe. The way to make work better, insists Mr. Bock, is through transparency, goal setting, frequent performance reviews, and a less-hierarchical work structure that empowers employees to solve problems for themselves while encouraging them to critique their bosses just as often as they critique themselves and each other. Plus, as Mr. Bock emphasizes again and again in his book, it’s essential that you hire the right people-smart, conscientious, and humble. (Although some might argue with the notion of humility being Google’s strongest suit.)

There are many challenges to developing a work environment that creates the opportunity to advance the ethical culture of an organization. Now the head of human resources has written a book entitled Work Rules to communicate his ideas that can help companies create an empowered workforce. He emphasizes transparency, frequent performance reviews, and a less hierarchal work structure that empowers employees. His ideas include providing employees with a chance to critique their bosses as they critique themselves and each other. Also, he emphasizes the need to hire the right people who are conscientious and humble. Many of the attributes that create an empowered, open, and transparent work environment also relate to creating an ethical culture.
