The culture of a workplace - an organization's values, norms and practices - has a huge impact on our happiness and success.
In the workplace, many people become helicopter managers, hovering over their employees in a well-intentioned but ill-fated attempt to provide support. These are givers gone awry - people so desperate to help others that they develop a white knight complex and end up causing harm instead.

Good health and safety really matters - we need to protect people against death and serious injury in the workplace.
