BACKGROUND

Workplace burnout is recognised by the World Health Organisation as an occupational phenomenon. It’s an experience that can significantly impact wellbeing and performance, not to mention job stability.

It is known to consist of feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from one’s job (or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job) and reduced professional efficacy.

The problem is complex, however there are certain strategies that people can adopt to address and prevent burnout.

OBJECTIVE

This session explores the neuroscience of how our brain responds when we work in a hyper-alert, hyper-productive state for a prolonged period of time. It covers practical ways of noticing early signs of burnout and how to respond in a way that helps wellbeing, with an emphasis on optimising energy.

This webinar is specifically designed for high performance organisations, where internal and client demands are high, often requiring their people to work to tight timeframes and provide high quality, robust, fact-based deliverables.

learning outcomes

Participants can expect to gain a more confident ability to:

• relate burnout to the physiology of stress and its impact on our physical and mental wellbeing

• appreciate the specific components of burnout and the impact of prolonged remote (or working from home) work

• identify the warning signs and risk factors: when hyper-productive and remote working can wear us down

• apply some evidence-based techniques for reducing experiences with fatigue and mitigating burnout risk factors in high performance environments

• activate self-care techniques longer term along with ways to help colleagues de-escalate stress, take stock and take a break

• identify where to go for help and support.
