Abstract
This article discusses the issue of overwork in companies and provides a three-step process to address and fix this culture. The author argues that the boundaries between work and personal life have become blurred, leading to increased stress and burnout. The article emphasizes the need for organizations to assess their current level of overwork, plan for incremental change, and execute trial experiments to create a healthier work culture. The author highlights the importance of communication, trust-building, and listening to employees throughout the process. The article concludes by stating that work cultures that enable overwork are suboptimal and that organizations can make positive changes to improve employee well-being. [Extracted from the article]
