About This Event

Recognize the signs of burnout and learn strategies to manage stress.

Contemporary professional demands not only cause stress, but chronic stress. Stress contributes to the development of myriad physical and mental health conditions including (but not limited to) hypertension, diabetes, depression and anxiety. Research suggests that up to two-thirds of American employees experience some degree of burnout. Burnout impacts productivity, morale and financial bottom line due to the health-related costs of burnout.

In this workshop we will discuss:

  • The definition of burnout
  • The specific causes of professional burnout
  • Signs of burnout
  • Strategies for managing stress and burnout
