Preventing Workplace Burnout
Burnout is an ongoing state of stress that occurs in the workplace. This condition of being overwhelmed can negatively impact individuals at any stage of their professional lives and may recur throughout their careers. Learning how to identify the early signs of workplace burnout and prevent continued decline is crucial to maintaining well-being and job satisfaction.
The Preventing Workplace Burnout program consists of two modules. The first module addresses burnout in early-career professionals and offers tips and strategies to safeguard well-being, while the second module discusses broader methods for early detection and prevention of workplace burnout. Additional resources are provided to help identify, prevent or mitigate burnout in the workplace.
