Faktastiskt (Translation to English is currently ongoing.)

Managers and decision-makers all too often act based on preconceived notions - not facts - when making important decisions, which can sometimes bring fateful consequences. Stress and occupational health scientist Dan Hasson has developed the method Fact-based organizational development, which teaches managers to make well-grounded decisions that they can stand for. The method is described in the new book Faktastiskt - the right tool for managers and HR, which was published in April 2019.

Today's managers operate in an increasingly complex working life. How should I as a manager handle conflicting demands from different employees? What should I consider when an employee is on their way back from a sick leave? Can I trust the results of the work environment survey and how should I use it?

Working fact-based can make it easier for managers to make the right decision. Once one knows how to do it, it's often as easy as it sounds: to emanate from facts rather than preconceived notions. But it can also be difficult, as one has to go against the instinct to quickly try to solve problems before one understands them.

In this book, Dan Hasson describes a systematic, fact-based approach. He dispels myths about stress, workload and change, and shows how you can:

• choose the right efforts and actions for organizational development and problem solving
• create participation and gain the trust of employees
• shape the organization's future based on facts rather than preconceived notions
• make the systematic improvements of the work environment energizing
• help employees suffering from stress-related ill-health to effective rehabilitation
