Employees' and Managers' Well-being: Chapter 4 (7/8 Wastes)
Description
In #LeanManagement, we often talk about the Eight Wastes—from #transportation and #inventory to #overproduction and #defects - that reduce efficiency and drain resources. But what if we applied this same thinking to the way we work and manage our energy?
In this episode, I explore how the “Eight Wastes” framework can be reimagined through the lens of the #JobDemands–Resources (#JDR) model. What happens when unnecessary #bureaucracy becomes “motion waste”? Or when excessive #deadlines act as “overproduction waste” that slowly drains our #motivation?
By drawing analogies between classic process inefficiencies and #psychological strain in the #workplace, we can uncover new ways to reduce #stress, prevent #burnout, and create healthier, more resilient #organisations.
Join me as I bridge the world of #Lean thinking with the human side of work—and discover how eliminating “#muda” can help us not only streamline processes but also protect our most important resource: employee energy.
