The causes of burnout are multi-layered and complex, the results however are obvious and can be devastating both personally and professionally. Not only is it difficult to notice when stress levels are approaching burnout, but organisations can inadvertently exacerbate the experience and there is no straight-forward “cure.” Burnout is a pervasive experience that ultimately costs organisations in employee wellbeing, engagement, and productivity. Yet stress is an inescapable and integral part of every day.
Equipping leaders and teams with the knowledge and tools to effectively manage their own experiences of stress and those around them is an empowering preventative strategy that will help to:
- improve employee retention, job satisfaction and reduce absenteeism
- promote employee wellbeing and increase positive contribution to the organisation’s success
- encourage collaboration, team cohesion and positive conflict resolution
- enhance cognitive flexibility, critical thinking, improve decision making and problem solving
