Navigating Disruption Fatigue in Organizations

Organizations have experienced significant disruption over the past few years, from the global pandemic to economic fluctuations and social movements, which has led to widespread 'disruption fatigue' among employees. Many leaders fail to recognize the cumulative impact of these changes, resulting in employees feeling as though they are navigating a constant state of upheaval without sufficient control. This lack of understanding can lead to disengagement and feelings of helplessness, preventing workers from effectively adapting to new environments or challenges. By fostering empathy and recognizing the mental burden that employees face, leaders can better support their teams and facilitate effective transitions.
