WHY DO WE NEED BUSINESS PSYCHOLOGY?
(A detailed overview of Andrzej's training and public speaking services can also be found in a downloadable PDF presentation.)
54% of U.S. employees feel overwhelmed by their duties.
33% of workers in the USA are chronically overworked.
23% of all jobs will experience a cycle of so-called "churn."
Unfortunately, modern life is challenging.
Today's political, economic, cultural, and personal situations are volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (also known as: "VUCA").
This makes decision-making difficult.
And people are feeling the pressure.
Overwork and burnout have become all too common.
Individuals find themselves playing multiple roles, many of which don't align with who they truly are.
They're navigating the complexities of late capitalism, struggling to hold onto their values in an ever-demanding society.
Job security is a constant worry.
Inter-generational communication is fraught with challenges—Gen Z clashes with Gen X, Gen X views Gen Z with skepticism, and Millennials are often caught in the middle, unsure of their place.
People are bogged down by too many responsibilities, the pitfalls of supposed "multitasking," after-hours work, and the grind of unfulfilling tasks.
Information overload and cognitive fatigue lead to anxiety, exhaustion, and a sense of ineffectiveness.
The dawn of artificial intelligence brings about additional fears, necessitates rapid and comprehensive changes, and could significantly widen the gaps in productivity and wages.
In essence, we're dealing with low morale, discouragement, weariness, and a feeling of being overwhelmed.
When faced with additional pressures, we're more inclined to throw in the towel than to proceed with grace and self-alignment.
However, fortunately, it doesn't have to be so.
