Employees’ and Managers’ Well-being: Chapter 3 (Stapling Exercise)

Hello again, dear listeners,

In this episode of my #wellbeing and #burnoutprevention mini-series, I introduce a simple yet powerful exercise borrowed from #processmanagement: “Process Stapling.” Originally used to visualise and improve workflows, this technique can also offer surprising insights into how burnout emerges within everyday job processes.

By stapling together not only task descriptions but also the emotional and psychological demands tied to each activity, we can identify pain points and mismatches early - before they turn into chronic stress or emotional exhaustion. It's not just about what people do, but how they feel while doing it.

Tune in to hear how understanding work processes from both technical and human perspectives can lead to healthier, more sustainable roles - where both #efficiency and #mentalhealth are taken seriously.

As always, I’m not a trained psychologist, so I encourage you to think critically and explore further.

Enjoy the episode - and thank you for your continued support through comments and shares!

Best,
Eugene (Yevgen)
