ROW Webinar: Leadership & burnout – the issue we can’t afford to ignore
Free
Overview:
Burnout is increasing, and it seems to be everywhere at the moment. New research out of AUT suggests 11 per cent of New Zealand workers might be experiencing burnout: physical or mental problems due to stress or overwork. Globally, COVID-19 has increased pressure on working adults as they juggle remote work with life commitments. For those in a leadership role, the pressure can be even greater.
Join us for this special webinar on burnout and leadership. We’re joined by two of New Zealand’s leading experts on the topic: Professor Jarrod Haar of AUT’s business school and Suzi McAlpine, leadership coach and author of the popular new release book – Beyond Burnout: A New Zealand Guide.
We’ll discuss what burnout is, the signs and symptoms, and the impact of burnout on self, loved ones and work. Plus, we’ll explore the impact of burnout on leaders and business productivity, and the all-important solutions to avoid burnout, and what to do if you’re already there or supporting someone who is.
