Rethinking Employee Resilience: Why Our Current Approach to Worker Burnout Is Failing, and How to Fix It - Paperback

Rethinking Employee Resilience is a practical, evidence-based guide to creating workplaces that invest in their workforce - the backbone of every organization. In an era of institutional collapse, workforce resilience isn't a luxury; it's non-negotiable.

Burnout has quietly become the new normal. As trust in institutions crumbles and career stability feels like a relic of the past, organizations face a choice: cling to outdated models or redefine their cultures to prioritize human resilience.

This book challenges the self-help industry's one-size-fits-all narrative, reframing burnout as a systemic issue embedded within organizational culture. It unfolds in three parts: debunking common burnout myths, redefining employee resilience, and offering tailored 'on-ramps' for organizations of all sizes.

Drawing from his work as a clinical psychologist in Afghanistan, where he provided mental health care to thousands of soldiers, to a decade leading mental health initiatives in management consulting, Dr. Dan Pelton has seen how burnout takes root--and knows how to dismantle it.

Rethinking Employee Resilience isn't just another leadership manual filled with hollow platitudes. This book rejects the status quo -- an unconventional guide for leaders and employees to transform organizational culture, grounded in empirical research, industry insights, and real-world experience.
