Combatting Chronic Organizational Distress

Employees are overwhelmed and stressed out, and productivity has plummeted.  However, the solution is not ‘fixing up’ employees or making them more resilient.  It is more about how leaders retool organizations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Realize the systemic nature of chronic organizational distress — distinguishing between individual-level stress responses and the structural, cultural, and leadership conditions that create and sustain unhealthy work environments.
• Evaluate the limitations of employee-focused resilience and wellness interventions as standalone solutions and be able to explain why sustainable improvement requires organizational-level diagnosis and leadership-driven change.
• Identify practical strategies leaders can implement to retool organizational structures, processes, and culture in ways that reduce chronic distress and restore employee engagement and productivity.
