In the info-graphic, you would discover the pitfalls of the present day corporate world and there are relevant solutions to do away with the challenges. Any problem can be resolved and all challenges can be overcome, provided one has the right tools, the right understanding and the right approach.
A substantial portion of the weekly work hours of most employees are clearly unproductive. Unclear goals, confused priorities, rigid communication policies within the office and focus on many activities and commitments that are not really helpful to the eventual cause are some of the challenges that are persistent in most offices.

Ways to Increase Happiness
