"Contemporary ways of working are not working, even for professionals and managers
in what used to be considered "good" jobs. Companies are responding to global competition
and pressure from financial markets by adopting management practices and staffing
strategies that push workers to do more and more with less and less. New technologies
facilitate always-on availability, normalizing 24/7 job expectations. This new intensity
spawns chronic stress in the form of overload - feelings of too much to do and too
little time to do it. Kelly and Moen argue this way of working is both unhealthy and
unsustainable. Employees burn out, quit, or lack the time or energy to bring their
best contributions to their jobs. Organizations lose out along with individuals, families,
and communities. This book moves beyond familiar tropes about 'work-life balance'
to argue that the problem lies not in the effort to 'balance' but in the very nature
of contemporary work. Overload harms workers of all genders, ages, and life stages
as well as the bottom lines of corporations. What can be done? Kelly and Moen draw
on five years of research, including a major field experiment, in a Fortune 500 firm
to describe a new approach to making work more sane and sustainable. The initiative,
called STAR, prompts imaginative yet feasible changes (or work redesigns) that improve
employees' health, wellbeing, and ability to manage both their personal and their
work lives. They find the firm also benefits through increased job satisfaction and
reduced turnover"
