Town hall: Burnout in the workplace
Burnout seems to be an ever-present feature in our work lives these days. From constant deadlines and short turnarounds to persistent staffing shortages, to managing audience and stakeholders' expectations during a crisis, there are a lot of reasons for overload to build up.
In a recent post on the DEAI forum, Shenette Swann (Marbles Kids Museum) asked,
“In what ways do your organisation's practice the prevention of burnout and provide a greater sense of value for all teammates?”
That forum thread alone collected a wide range of strategies that organisations have gathered to mitigate the risk of burnout and support the recovery of their teams when pressures arise.
To keep this conversation going, we will be running two Town Hall style sessions to talk informally about what challenges you have faced with burnout in the workplace, and to listen and share what strategies and options people have taken to support themselves and their teams.
The virtual meeting will take place through Teams (link below). Closed captioning will be available. You're welcome to join however it is most comfortable for you - camera on, voice only, or text chat.
We’ll be meeting using the Lean Coffee format, which allows attendees to create the meeting agenda by posting discussion questions related to the topic of burnout. Our lean coffee board can be found here if you’d like to suggest topics or questions beforehand, otherwise just come along.
If you have questions or queries, please reach out!
See you there!!
