DESCRIPTION:
Occupational Burnout: The Science Behind Stress in the Workplace - Janelle Tarasewicz, Principal Consultant | Aperture EQ
In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared “burnout” as an official occupational syndrome in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). Now, two years into a worldwide pandemic, we are all facing seemingly insurmountable burnout. Whether it’s facing reductions in staffing, dealing with increasingly challenging customer issues, schooling our children at home, or facing the daily depressing headlines – I think it’s safe to say that we all have had an incredible few years. In this training, we will debunk the myths of stress and burnout. While not all stress is “bad” it’s important to recognize that when we reach a certain point the overwhelming nature of occupational stressors can take a cognitive, physical, and organizational toll. By recognizing the warning signs of burnout, we can better alleviate the consequences of occupational stress and put measures in place to help avoid it in the first place.
Learning Objectives:
- The science behind how our brain and bodies react to stress, both short-term stress as well as long-term (or chronic) stress.
