Summary:
"In this timely, provocative book, Jeffrey Pfeffer contends that many
modern
management
commonalities such as long hours, work-family conflict, and economic insecurity are toxic to employees--hurting engagement, increasing turnover, and destroying people's physical and emotional health--while also being inimical to
company
performance. He argues that human sustainability should be as important as environmental stewardship. You don't have to
do
a physically dangerous job to confront a health-destroying, possibly life-threatening workplace....In "
Dying
for a
Paycheck
", Jeffrey Pfeffer marshals a vast trove of evidence and numerous examples from all over the world to expose the infuriating truth
about
modern
work life: even as organizations allow
management
practices that actually sicken and kill their employees, those policies
do
not enhance productivity or the bottom line, thereby creating a lose-lose situation. Exploring a range of important topics, including layoffs,
health
insurance, work-family conflict, work hours, job autonomy, and why people remain in toxic environments, Pfeffer offers guidance and practical solutions that all of us--employees, employers, and the government--can use to enhance workplace well-being.
We
must wake up to the dangers and enormous costs to today's workplace, Pfeffer argues. "
Dying
for a
Paycheck
" is a clarion call for a social movement focused on human sustainability. Pfeffer makes clear that the environment
we
work in is just as important as the one
we
live in, and with this urgent book he opens our eyes and shows
how
we
can
make our workplaces healthier and better."--jacket flaps.
