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

Synopsis

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in institutions crumbles and career stability feels like a relic of the past, organizations face a choice: cling to outdated models or redefine their cultures to prioritize human resilience.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.
