How healthy is the organization you work for?
What does it mean for an organization to be healthy or unhealthy?
The cliché paints a healthy organization as a place where everyone is happy, efficient, and friendly—perhaps all enjoying an apple a day to keep the doctor away. In contrast, an unhealthy organization can feel unsafe, stifling, or exclusionary. Here, sharing your thoughts or expressing your identity might lead to negative consequences or toxic gossip.
Are unhealthy organizations defined by burnout, absenteeism, or poor lifestyles? Is an organization unhealthy if it loses focus on its primary task? What role do external forces—world conflicts, climate change, pandemics, and polarizing politics—play in shaping organizational health?
