Book excerpt: Get heard by being clear and concise The only way to survive in business today is to be a lean communicator. Busy executives expect you to respect and manage their time more effectively than ever. You need to do the groundwork to make your message tight and to the point. The average professional receives 304 emails per week and checks their smartphones 36 times an hour and 38 hours a week. This inattention has spread to every part of life. The average attention span has shrunk from 12 seconds in 2000 to eight in 2012. So, throw them a lifeline and be brief. Author Joe McCormack tackles the challenges of inattention, interruptions, and impatience that every professional faces. His proven B.R.I.E.F. approach, which stands for Background, Relevance, Information, Ending, and Follow up, helps simplify and clarify complex communication. BRIEF will help you summarize lengthy information, tell a short story, harness the power of infographics and videos, and turn monologue presentations into controlled conversations.

Book excerpt: The primary objective of this product is to provide a brief practical guide of policy options to support national (health and labour) and workplace level policy makers to implement the evidence-based recommendations of the forthcoming WHO guideline on mental health at work. The policy brief describes the policy options required to prevent mental health conditions at work, to promote mental health at work, and to ensure people living with mental health conditions can access and effectively participate in line with the recommendations in the WHO guideline. Similar to the WHO guideline on mental health at work, the policy brief includes considerations for lower-resourced settings. The policy brief aims to increase the implementation of evidence-based mental health prevention, promotion and care for people who work or who aspire to work and are living with mental health conditions. By doing so, the product strengthens the enactment of WHO Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2030, WHO Global Strategy on Health Environment and Climate Change, and International Labour Organization Conventions relevant to the area of mental health, such as, but not limited to the Occupational Safety and Health Convention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors explore the state of the art on efficiency measurement in health systems and international experts offer insights into the pitfalls and potential associated with various measurement techniques. The authors show that: - The core idea of efficiency is easy to understand in principle - maximizing valued outputs relative to inputs, but is often difficult to make operational in real-life situations - There have been numerous advances in data collection and availability, as well as innovative methodological approaches that give valuable insights into how efficiently health care is delivered - Our simple analytical framework can facilitate the development and interpretation of efficiency indicators.

This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature provides us with a multitude of goods like food and fiber, drinking water, protection against floods and storms, carbon storage and recreational services like swimming and bird watching. Our welfare and well-being depend on these goods and services – often called ecosystem services, defined as “the benefit people directly and indirectly obtain from nature”. We often distinguish between four categories of ecosystem services; supporting, provisioning, regulating and cultural ecosystem services. This report aims to sum up and show some examples of the results of the ecosystem services projects carried out for NCM. It illustrates which ecosystem services we receive from Nordic nature and the importance of these. It also shows examples of how the ecosystem services approach has been and can be used in management of nature in the Nordic countries, and to point out some knowledge gaps.
