Product description

Rethinking Employee Resilience is a playbook for reducing burnout and fostering worker resilience in organizations of all kinds. Conventional wisdom holds that employee burnout is an individual issue, related to personal problems of mental health and misalignment. In this book, clinical psychologist Dr. Dan Pelton argues that employee burnout is in fact a broad, systemic workforce issue that organizational leaders must address in broad terms. Leaders, employees, and organizations as a whole can benefit by using alternative perspectives to promote resilience throughout their organizations. Four key strategies are explored for preventing burnout and creating optimal engagement conditions that can significantly enhance a company's bottom line. Performance Management; Analytics; Job crafting; and Strategic Communication. With humor and insight, Pelton examines the personal qualities of leaders who exemplify resilience and know how to foster it in their employees. Case studies showcase resilience-building in organizations of all types and sizes, including both grassroots and top-down approaches. Each chapter ends with questions that stimulate reflection and creative thinking, making the book ideal for self-study, workshop, or classroom use.
