Compassion fatigue is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced ability to empathize. Employees experiencing compassion fatigue may become less motivated, less productive, and more likely to make mistakes or errors in judgment.
In this podcast, Barbara Rubel, a keynote speaker on Burnout, Compassion Fatigue, Secondary Traumatic Stress, or Vicarious Trauma, talks about compassion fatigue and its impact.
She further discusses how important it is for organizations to identify employee issues and help overcome them. Spread awareness and create an empathetic workspace for all.
