Lack of energy, inability to concentrate, chronic stress: the signs of workplace burnout are real and they are a problem. In this episode, we speak with Michelle Innes, assistant dean of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for the Alberta School of Business, whose research helps us understand what causes burnout, how can it be prevented or treated, and — importantly — what the downstream effects of it are. Share this episode with your boss if you think burnout might be an issue in your workplace!
