Three out of five workers across the world say they feel burned
out. A 2020 study claims that the figure is in fact three in four.
Over the past 24 months, our relationship with work has changed
beyond recognition. On one side, employees are now looking for more
choice, flexibility and freedom than ever before and statistics
show that if they don't get what they want, they are prepared to
vote with their feet. On the other, employers across all industries
and job roles are currently facing mass resignations, with 3.6
million US workers resigning in May 2021 alone. With such a
background, organizations are now being forced to take burnout
among their workforce more seriously. This book offers a
story-based exploration of a growing risk and some real and deep
practices that seek to improve the human experience of the
present-day workforce and make organizations more viable for the
future. The authors look at the current burnout situation from a
lens of discovering and seeking to heal some of the root causes of
workplace despair. The book gives the reader a sense of when
burnout is happening or imminent and suggests human and radical
inroads for prevention and healing.
We live in a world in crisis. Societies are becoming fractured,
opinions polarized and people are increasingly isolated. In an
attempt to seek out human connection, many people spend more time
at work than they do with family members, yet few of us have
someone at work who we trust enough to share our vulnerabilities.
To be human is to suffer, yet our struggles can remain hidden from
work. This book argues that compassion is a core human value, which
is too often overlooked in business. In these challenging and
unprecedented times, workplaces have a crucial role to play in
fostering kindness, care and understanding for one another as human
beings. Based on a decade of research and packed with examples and
case studies, this book argues that compassion is the hidden key to
business performance in the 21st century.
