Abstract

From a 2017 Gallup poll using analytics from 160 countries on the global workplace, only 15% out of the world’s one billion full-time workers were engaged at work. Yet, in 2021, during COVID-19, a surprising rise in engagement with fluctuations was observed. What is interesting is that higher stress levels related to the compounding impacts of COVID-19 were tracked, particularly among women, caregivers, and marginalized and racialized groups. It is ever more important that leaders pay attention to these different and concurrent trends to learn and plan for how to support individual and collective well-being for planetary health. A key aspect of successfully navigating individuals and collectives at work will rely on the competencies of leaders around making sense of these trends and understanding how to mitigate burnout in planning for now and into the next era. This chapter argues that leaders neglecting individual and collective well-being and work-life balance, including their own health and well-being, will result actually in greater disengagement and dissatisfactio. It discusses how critical it is to take a broader view to recognize individual and collective well-being. It provides recommendations for how to work with the trends and specifically describes the essential qualities and practices leaders need to be able to support resilient, adaptable, engaged, and healthy individuals and collectives for planetary health.
