Description
Burnout in the workplace is a growing concern, with three out of five workers worldwide feeling burnt out. A 2020 study found that this figure may be as high as three in four. Over the past two years, our relationship with work has undergone significant changes. Employees are now seeking more choice, flexibility, and freedom than ever before, and statistics show they will leave their jobs if these demands are not met. Conversely, employers across various industries and job roles are facing mass resignations, with 3.6 million US workers quitting in May 2021 alone. As a result, organizations must take burnout seriously. This book offers a story-based exploration of the current burnout situation, examining its root causes and suggesting real practices to improve the human experience in the modern workforce. It provides guidance on recognizing when burnout is occurring or imminent and proposes human and radical approaches for prevention and healing.
