Equilibrium is the perfect balance between two opposing forces.

In the world of economics, that refers to supply and demand. In the modern world of work, those opposites are organisational demands and workforce psychological wellbeing.

But don’t the drivers of profit and productivity outweigh the need for investment in the psychological enrichment of the workforce? Can they ever exist in a state of equilibrium? Tanya Heaney-Voogt shows us that they can. And they must, if we are to have sustainable organisations.

Finding Equilibrium is the leader’s map to navigating a new world with insights into motivation, productivity, job demands and burnout prevention. The book clears up common misunderstandings about psychological safety and shows leaders how to get the work done while looking after their teams and themselves.

Introducing her PEMS model bound with the golden threads of role clarity and leadership support, Heaney-Voogt offers leaders practical, adaptable, evidence-informed strategies to find equilibrium.

“I loved this book.

It is so well researched both in range and depth. It is great to have all the sources brought together – if i did that myself it would take months! So it is excellent value from that point of view alone. Plus the research is supported by case studies that are very relatable.

Like most people I have worked in some shocking organisations and for shocking people when I was younger mostly because there was an aspect of the work that I found interesting. I am very fortunate right now that my gigs in organisations are with smart leaders who model most of what is in your book. I will share this with them – with the encouragement that they are bound to find yet more useful information in the book.

I’ve ordered another copy to give away, thanks again Tanya.”

“If you are committed to mentally healthy workplaces, you need Finding Equilibrium, a guide to finding better work-life balance. This book provides the right balance of research and models to develop an evidence-based case for change in your workplace.

The case studies tell the stories we have all experienced. Whether you are looking to make changes to your own work patterns, help someone else make changes for a healthier better version of themselves or help teams think and work differently, Finding Equilibrium can set you on the right path.

The practical advice on how to support different leadership styles has given me lots of strategies and tools to help leaders in my workplace. This book needed to be written. Thank you, Tanya, for making that happen.”

– Debbie Fankhauser, People & Customer Executive, CPHR

“Living true to the concept of equilibrium, reading this book provided me with a beautiful balance of intellectual synthesis of extensive research through to lived human experiences in real workplaces.

I laughed out loud at Tanya’s clever one liners from bug zappers to exploding porridge! It’s a gift to be able to make sense of complex workplace issues in relatable ways.

Thank you, Tanya for generously sharing who you are – it is felt and experienced on every page. Your passionate work enables us to explore how we continue to step into leadership and find equilibrium for ourselves, each other and our organisations.”
