John Thalheimer and Chuck Simikian unpack the growing crisis of burnout and chronic stress among HR professionals and business leaders. With recent federal actions, such as workforce reductions and the rollback of affirmative action policies, HR leaders are navigating more pressure than ever.

You’ll learn:

• What burnout really looks like in the workplace
• The link between DEI policy changes and HR stress
• How to build resilience while supporting your team
• Practical tools like boundary-setting, mindfulness, and peer connection
• Why burnout is a leadership and culture issue, not just a personal one

Whether you're a CHRO, HR manager, or team leader, this episode offers actionable insights to help you protect your well-being and lead through change.

The viewpoints expressed by the characters in the stories are not necessarily that of The Team at HR Stories. The stories are shared to present various, real-world scenarios and share how they were handled by policy and, at times, law. Chuck and John are not lawyers and always recommend working with an employment lawyer to address concerns.
