Hello again, dear listeners,
In this episode of my #burnoutprevention and #wellbeing series, I take you on a journey into the heart of problem-solving in complex work environments - by simply asking why. Inspired by a well-known technique from #processmanagement, we explore how repeatedly asking “why?”- five times, to be exact - can reveal the hidden roots of psychological strain at work.
Using the example of a talented employee struggling with the blurred boundaries of remote work, I reflect on how individual challenges often point to broader structural or cultural issues. We’ll also look at what organisations can do, from redesigning job roles to supporting skills like mental switching and mindfulness.
Sometimes, solutions don’t require a major overhaul - just a deeper understanding and a bit of creativity. Whether you're a #manager, #HRprofessional, or just curious about the human side of work, this episode will offer new insights into how stress emerges - and how it can be gently defused.
As always, thank you for tuning in. Your comments and shares help spread these ideas further!
Best, Eugene (Yevgen)
