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

  • How employee burnout affects productivity and profitability
  • Why more wellness programming is the last thing burned-out employees want or need

  • Why no-one wants to fill out your employee survey
