About this book
How can we work towards ensuring that organisations are robust and highly productive and avoid issues such as tiredness, burnout, high employee turnover, motivational issues, or problems with the emotional climate?
Bringing together the fields of process management and organisational behaviour for the first time, this book provides sorely needed practical guidance on how organisations can diagnose, anticipate, and address psychological issues in their workforces as well as process vulnerabilities in their operations.
Advocating for a human-centred approach to process management, the authors help discover and prevent negative psychological issues related to emotional exhaustion. This book offers a step-by-step toolkit for burnout recognition and systematic prevention using established process management tools. Thus, the book offers a deep look into psychological aspects far beyond classical process management.Reviews

“Many of us are working very hard to make the world a better place, sometimes so hard that we risk falling into the state of burnout. Burnout may have various causes, but it most often results from how we organise our work and perceive our job demands. This book gives us guidance on avoiding burnout, with a touch of fun and magic on the side!” (Petra Molthan-Hill, Professor of Sustainable Management and Education for Sustainable Development at Nottingham Business School, England)
“If we want to maintain a strong and healthy workforce, we need to change the way we work.

The authors show us the way forward.” (Nils Stieglitz, President and CEO of the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, Professor for Strategic Management, Frankfurt a.M., Germany)
