We are at a pivotal point in how our culture approaches work. Workplace burnout is at an all-time high. Employees are choosing organizations that prioritize work-life balance, flexibility, and remote work, and align with their personal values. As a result, organizations are forced to reevaluate their structure, priorities, and communication, but often have no idea where or how to begin. 

Elizabeth Knox knows that work matters. Work is what drives necessary change in our world, as well as our economy, passions, goals. And more important than work is working well, which is only possible when work allows us to also live well.

To accomplish this, we have to reimagine what work is, and what it isn''t. Work Reimagined: How the Power of Pace Can Help Your Organization Achieve a New Level of Focus, Engagement, and Satisfaction walks organizational leaders and team members through how to transform their workplaces at an individual and organizational level so their members can both work and live well. 

How? By understanding the importance of pace: the established rhythms and expectations of the workplace that enable organizations and their employees to work at a healthy, sustainable rate and accomplish their mission over the long term without burning out. Without a sustainable pace, organizations will only continue to battle low energy and high turnover rates. Knox has found that the secret to effective and satisfying work is finding a sustainable pace, at both an individual and organizational level. 

With years of experience helping organizations reimagine their identities, communication, and effectiveness to create a more productive workplace, Knox details her experience and data-driven strategies to help readers evaluate and discover a pace that allows both their organization and employees to succeed. Complete with activities and exercises for personal and organizational evaluation, Knox pushes readers to look inward, and question if the way they are working is truly sustainable.
