Burnout: Why it Happens and How to Reduce the Risk
Organizational health is a collective goal based on the health and wellbeing of all who work within, are served by, or interact with that organization. We know that low to moderate stress contributes to productivity, while increasingly higher stress levels lead to fatigue, mental and physical health conditions, and burnout.
The Community Learning Team has developed a program that addresses these stressors and helps leaders and staff deepen their resilience and flexibility to reduce the risk of burnout. We’ll also discuss how to recover from burnout from self, leader, and colleague perspectives. Ask us how you can learn more about how burnout manifests, why powering through isn’t a good strategy, and the personal techniques and organizational strategies to head it off or turn it around.
