Employee Burnout & How To Manage It - Guidance For HR Professionals & People Managers

Introduction

‘Burnout’ is a term given to a range of emotions and reactions to work, usually caused by overwork and other related factors.

Often confused with stress, anxiety, depression, or a combination of the three, burnout seems to apply more readily to some jobs more than others, such as any job undertaken by professionals or those working from home. It also seems to apply more to jobs in environments which are traditionally seen as being highly pressurised.

This webinar will discuss whether the recent pandemic has made things worse or if burnout has always been a problem that we just did not recognise before. Consideration will also be given to what burnout is, how to spot it, and the threat it can have on your employees and business if ignored.
