About the Book

Long term illness has become mainstream in the workplace with more than a third of the workforce affected at least one chronic health condition. From diabetes and heart disease to arthritis, cancer, Crohn's disease and many others, these conditions challenge our traditional views of sickness at work. Award-winning journalist, former manager and professional coach Jason Reid provides insight into how organizations and employees can improve performance and avoid misunderstandings associated with chronic health conditions. Jason Reid brings decades of personal experience of living and working with chronic illness and managing people challenged by similar health conditions in the competitive world of television news. Managers and organizational leaders will learn: - The crucial differences between chronic illness and traditional disease. - Why chronic illness costs organizations in North America over a trillion dollars a year in lost productivity. - Why current policies and programs related to employee health are not effective for people with chronic disease. - The best strategies to engage workers with chronic health conditions. Employees with chronic illness will learn: - How to develop a good relationship with their employer. - How to fight fatigue. - How to think and work better when they are sick. - How to manage their lives to maximize their energy. A guide to productivity and engagement for ambitious people with chronic health conditions, and the organizations that employ them.
About the Author: Jason Reid is a professional coach, speaker and author specializing in the area of chronic illness and employee engagement. Jason advises organizations looking to improve productivity and diversity while simultaneously reducing disability costs. His new book, Thriving in the Age of Chronic Illness, looks at how an aging workforce and changing health paradigm affects both workers and organizations. Jason Reid doesn't just know about chronic illness, he lives with it - having battled a painful intestinal illness for most of his life. He has also successfully managed employees challenged by cancer, arthritis, depression and other chronic diseases. Jason Reid runs Sick with Success(R), a professional coaching organization helping ambitious people with chronic illness improve their engagement and productivity - both at work and in life. Jason's real-world experiences as a manager challenged by chronic health conditions gives him a unique perspective on how chronic illness affects organizations and their people. In addition to appearing on radio and television, Jason writes regularly at his popular blog sickwithsuccess.com.
