At the Liberty Recruitment Group, we know what stress feels like and how we, as a small team, support each other in making sure none of us experience burnout at work. We also know that this is a subject close to your hearts so we are delighted to announce that we have lined-up a brilliant session for you all in November!
Our very dear friend Kathryn Ward will be delivering a FREE lunchtime online session for you on Wednesday 25th November. Anyone who knows Kathryn knows that she comes with a wealth of experience and knowledge so we cannot wait for this valuable and timely ‘lunch-and-learn’ event!
Entitled,“Burnout in The Workplace – Is Prevention Easier Than Cure?” Kathryn explains how the word ‘burnout’ is increasingly used by UK workers, with 91% of UK adults reporting high, or extreme, levels of stress in the last year – and 1 in 5 taking time off work for stress-related poor mental health. With this costing the UK economy approximately £300m every year, it’s a critical issue not only for wellbeing, but for organisational performance too.
But is stress the same as burnout? And is it really the leaders of organisations and/or our HR colleagues’ responsibility to do something about the situation? And, if it is, what on earth can – and should – we all do?
In this webinar Kathryn will explore what burnout is – and isn’t – and how leaders can reduce burnout risks. She will describe how burnout becomes systemic as well as individual; the generation gaps evidenced in chronic stress; and how to support teams – and ourselves! – through uncertain and volatile times. (See, we said it would be right up your street, didn’t we?)
