This book is all about doing the necessary work and encouraging the reader and team to take each chapter and implement immediately. With guiding questions and support throughout, this book spurs reflection, engagement and transformation of individual and institutional thinking, workplace culture and more. This is exactly what all organizations should be exploring right now.

This book was a quick highlight of what every team manager should know about assessing and promoting the health of their staff. I have implemented 2 workplace safety programs and have to admit I have only thought of physical safety. After the stress of COVID, seeing some concerns from minority staff members, and over-worked and stressed team members…. I have to admit we need to do more. This “little book” opened my eyes to some big issues that I took for granted.
