In this important and timely book, workplace well-being expert Jennifer Moss helps leaders and individuals prevent burnout and create healthier, happier, and more productive workplaces. We tend to think of burnout as a problem we can solve with self-care: more yoga, better breathing techniques, and more resilience. But evidence is mounting that applying personal, Band-Aid solutions to an epic and rapidly evolving workplace phenomenon isn't enough--in fact, it's not even close. If we're going to solve this problem, organizations must take the lead in developing an antiburnout strategy that moves beyond apps, wellness programs, and perks. In this eye-opening, paradigm-shifting, and practical guide, Jennifer Moss lays bare the real causes of burnout and howorganizations can stop the chronic stress cycle that an alarming number of workers suffer through. "The Burnout Epidemic" explains: What causes burnout--and what organizations can do to prevent it; Why traditional wellness initiatives fall short; How companies can build an antiburnout strategy based on prevention, not perks; How leaders can measure burnout in their own organizations; What leaders can do to develop a healthier culture that prioritizes resilience and curiosity. As the pandemic has shown, self-care is important, but it's not a cure-all for burnout. Employers need to do more. With fascinating research, new findings from the pandemic, and interviews with business leaders around the globe, "The Burnout Epidemic" offers readers insightful and actionable advice that will empower them to help themselves--and their employees--feel healthier and happier at work. -- Provided by publisher. - Baker & Taylor
Workplace well-being expert Jennifer Moss helps leaders and individuals prevent burnout and create healthier, happier, and more productive workplaces. - Book News
Moss, a journalist, author, consultant, and entrepreneur, draws on research she conducted with 1,500 people in 46 countries on burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic to rethink the concept of workplace burnout in terms of the role of organizations and leaders and the importance of trust, empathy, and communication. She describes six causes of burnout (workload, perceived lack of control, lack of reward or recognition, poor relationships, lack of fairness, and values mismatch); industries that are most vulnerable for burnout, particularly health care, education, and technology; strategies for dealing with burnout, especially problematic strategies that have been used with good intentions, such as unlimited vacations, team building, and wellness programs, as well as how to measure burnout; and leadership strategies, including leading with curiosity, becoming an empathetic leader, and self-care.
