What if work itself could be the solution to wellbeing?

It’s time for work to enter a new era. While wellness programs and flexibility have been steps in the right direction, true change happens when we rethink work itself and our relationship to it. It’s time for work to become a true source of connection, purpose and wellbeing.

Good Work shows that the future of work won’t come from productivity hacks, motivational quotes or wellbeing apps, but from changing how work itself is designed and led. From organisational psychologist Dr Kathryn Page, this game-changing book offers a bold new blueprint for creating work that protects, fuels and connects people.

Drawing on decades of research and real-life stories of success, Good Work reveals how to:

• design your working life in ways that boost and sustain your wellbeing
• manage your energy, focus and boundaries when work intensifies
• lead and collaborate in ways that build trust, connection and flow
• shape work environments that are good for people and productivity
• create more fulfilling, autonomous and sustainable workplaces.

Good Work is a call to action―an invitation to influence systems, practices and norms to make good work the rule, not the exception. It’s time to reimagine the way we work.
