Why workplace wellness is not the solution for burnout (and what is)


Listen Later

Everyone is burned out. Employees are burned out. Business owners are burned out. Caregivers are burned out. But the solutions that are being promoted are not necessarily what we need in order to solve the problem of burnout.

Cassie Christopher returns to the Change Academy to talk about workplace burnout and the impact this is having on both employees and employers (and even the self-employed)--and how each has a different role to play in creating a healthier and happier workplace.

What to Listen For

  • The three ways you are likely to experience burnout
  • How employee burnout affects productivity and profitability
  • Why more wellness programming is the last thing burned-out employees want or need
  • The six requirements of a burnout-proof workplace
  • Why no-one wants to fill out your employee survey
  • How understanding the science of burnout makes you a better advocate for your own needs in the workplace
  • The most effective ways to recover from long-term burnout
  • What entrepreneurs and the self-employed can do to reduce their own burnout
  • How working on self-esteem can sometimes undermine our progress
  • The role of self-compassion in more productive problem-solving
  • The two beliefs that foster effective behavior change
