Steering the Ship: Integrating Burnout Prevention into Business Education for a Fairer World
This discussion introduces a unique approach to burnout prevention that focuses on systemic contributors within organizations. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing early warning signs, understanding contributing factors, and implementing interventions at both individual and systemic levels. By incorporating these elements into business education, we can cultivate leaders who are not only aware of the risks of burnout but are also equipped with strategies to prevent it from the start. It is easier to set a ship on the correct course at the outset of its journey than try to re-direct it midway through.

Most workplace wellness programs focus on changing employee behavior. The effective programs go one step further and also work to redesign the workplace. This step is critical to the success of employee wellness programs and solving key management concerns such as burnout, turnover, reduced performance and engagement, low morale, and decreased client/customer satisfaction.
Employers cannot continue trying to make the canaries more resilient, they have to improve the mine. Or they will run out of canaries.
Every individual wants to do their best work. They want to be healthier, live better, and show up. But if the environment does not allow them to, they won’t. They can’t. How do you know if your workplace is giving employees the environment, tools, and support they need to do and be their best?
This workshop will help attendees explore how to build a powerfully effective and comprehensive wellness program to reduce the risk of burnout and other critical management concerns by improving company culture, engagement, and organizational design.
