Identifying and Responding to Excess Stress and Burnout at Work

In 2019 the World Health Organisation formally recognised burnout as an “occupational phenomenon”. We all experience stress at various levels throughout our lives. However, if an individual experiences regular stress that leaves them feeling exhausted and/or disillusioned, they may be on the path to burnout. This workshop identifies different stress levels and looks at strategies to mitigate and respond to levels that are excessive in order to maintain personal wellbeing for self and others in the workplace.
