TOPICS IN COMPANIES

According to a scientific study, a total of 2.5 million people suffer from what is known as Messie Syndrome, pathological hoarding/value judgement disorder. As a result, there is a high probability that you also have this condition in your company.

If so, it could be as follows:

Employees who clutter up their personalised workplace with papers and documents, much to the annoyance of their team colleagues?
You experience employees who are often late
Employees who do not adhere to deadlines and thus block others in their work process?
