It’s a fact that we live in
disruptive times. Industries are collapsing, financial markets are imploding,
oil and commodity prices are plummeting, and terrorism is shutting down major
urban areas.
It’s no wonder there is so
much illness and despair in the world. We have become bombarded by ringing,
texting, tweeting, pinging, chatting, messaging 24/7/365, and there is very
little “white space” any more. Organizations find themselves grappling with
constant change, intense pressure, ambiguous crises, overwhelming stress and
daunting uncertainty. The toll on disruption is high. It has been estimated
that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for
stress-related problems. The “new normal” is tired, stressed, burned out,
fragmented, distracted and disconnected employees who are getting sicker and
sicker, which leads to:
- decreased engagement
- loss of trust
- less retention
- damaged brand equity
- lower productivity
