If you feel emotional or physical exhaustion, catch yourself disengaging from your job or coworkers, or notice a decrease in your productivity or creativity, you are not alone. A recent survey found 48% of employees in eight countries struggle with burnout. Or you may be experiencing boreout — underchallenged and lacking purpose, saddled with repetitive tasks.

Join Amy Newman from Cornell’s SC Johnson College of Business and Chris Wofford from eCornell to learn strategies for managing burnout by pinpointing what you can and can’t control. We’ll describe ways to re-engage in the work and with your coworkers, approach your situation with compassion, and communicate with courage.

For people managers, we’ll explore ways to improve working conditions, lead with humility, and communicate more in some ways and less in others to support your team, despite work demands.

What You'll Learn

  • A framework for analyzing the causes of burnout and identifying what you can and can’t control
  • Practical communication strategies to advocate for yourself and others
  • The value of re-engaging and connecting with others despite a difficult work situation
  • Follow eCornell on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X
