About Workomics
In biology, omics derives from Latin and denotes building a holistic understanding of something large and complex, normally by focusing on its constituent parts (as genomics is the study of the genome). Meanwhile, the -omic in economics derives from the Greek νέμω, meaning to manage.
Inspired by both the Latin and the Greek, Workomics is dedicated to understanding and managing the world of work, and all its constituent parts. If you are new to this newsletter and want to get a sense of what we write about, here are some of the most popular posts from our archives:
Exploring how (re)defining “good enough” can enable a four-day workweek
The concept of ‘no-drama’ feedback, and how to do it better.
Why overworking is bad, why it happens anyway, and how to (mostly) keep workloads manageable
