The first hour of the webinar is recorded.
Those most susceptible to burnout are working in professions that have close proximity to human suffering… especially Humanitarians! The top reasons cited for burnout confirm that it has more to do with the workplace environment, not the individual suffering with burnout.
However, burnout can happen to anyone.
In this webinar we will explore topics of:
Burnout: what it is and what it isn’t
Risk factors and protective factors
Stress and coping theories
Recognition and recovery (with cultural considerations)
Burnout is an organizational issue
Meaningful change in workplace culture
