Our Workplaces Aren’t Working. It’s Time for a New Paradigm.
If you one of the millions of managers, executives, or small-business owners caught in the “business sandwich”—crushed between shareholder demands and employee burnout, you are not alone.
The relentless pursuit of profit-at-all-costs has become unsustainable.
- 83% of US employees report daily work-related stress.
- 52% are experiencing symptoms of burnout.
This “unsustainable friction” is costing organizations hundreds of billions annually in disengagement and turnover.
For many, it feels like we are in a state of constant conflict and inefficiency that exacts a heavy toll on employers, employees, and the broader community.
These high-risk, hostile work environments, increase legal exposures and fracture teams–at work and beyond.
The Solution is Not Another Quick Fix. It’s a New Framework.
Unsustainable: Why Our Workplaces Aren’t Working and What to Do About It provides a new path forward. Drawing on three decades of experience as a human resources supervisor and plaintiff turned employment litigator and mediator, Nance L. Schick, Esq., offers a comprehensive, actionable framework to move beyond the friction. This book maps the invisible costs of our broken system and illuminates how to build workplaces that value sustainability, mutual benefit, and holistic well-being.
In this book, you will learn how to:
-
Understand the historical, legal, and structural roots of our current workplace dysfunction.
-
“HAQ” workplace disputes—resolving them Humanely, Affordably, and Quickly—before they derail careers and businesses.
-
Reframe employment as a partnership, not an agreement to be controlled and exploited.
-
Harness new tools, including AI, to build a conflict-resilient and truly human-centered culture.
