Summary
With the COVID-19 pandemic in its third year, the topic of this book cannot be more relevant. Before the onset of the pandemic, the strains experienced by managers and employees had been rising for years. Various factors can account for this rise, such as the intensifying pace of work, growing job insecurity in the gig economy, increasing globalization, information technology’s steady invasion of all aspects of life, and heightened incompatibilities between individuals’ work and personal lives. The pandemic has made things dramatically worse for many.
