    Topic: Combatting Burnout and Increasing Wellbeing

    Burnout was apparent before COVID and has been made worse by the pandemic, with working from home, online schooling, care of family members, and, for many, increased work demands. Combatting burnout is a multi-pronged approach. This presentation will discuss four strategies that can help. Hint: It requires more than self-care. 1) Rethinking meetings; 2) Helping employees feel purpose; 3) Creating a culture where difficulties can be openly discussed; and 4) Empathetic leaders. It will also include the connection between burnout and wellbeing and how to increase wellbeing while also combatting burnout.
