🎙 Episode 07 – Part 2: Understanding Burnout from an HR Perspective

Guest: Martina Teufner, HR Consultant & Leadership Coach

In this second part of our eye-opening conversation, we go even deeper into the role of HR when it comes to burnout. Martina Teufner shares her experience navigating the complex realities HR professionals face—caught between caring for people and meeting business demands.

If you’ve ever wondered why burnout often goes unnoticed in companies—or why the support isn’t always there when you need it—this episode is for you.

💬 We explore:

• The power imbalance HR professionals often face

• Why psychological safety isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a must

• What healthy workplace culture really looks like (and how to build it)

• Early warning signs of burnout HR and leaders need to spot

• The role of trust, empathy, and peer support in recovery

💡 Burnout isn’t just about working too much. It’s about feeling unseen, unsupported, and stuck in systems that don’t acknowledge your humanity. Martina helps us unpack this from the inside out.
