Thursday, March 18, 2021From Wharton Professor Paula Davis, a first-of-its-kind, science-backed toolkit takes a holistic approach to burnout prevention by helping individuals, teams, and leaders build resilience and thrive at work.
Burnout has become one of the most talked-about workplace topics, and its impact is far-reaching. The 24/7 pace of work, constant demands, and scant resources can easily put busy professionals on a path to burnout, a cycle that has only accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout affects the health and well-being of the entire organization, yet most attempts to help focus on quick-fix strategies aimed at individuals. Something is missing.
In her soon to be released book "Beating Burnout at Work: Why Teams Hold the Secret to Well-Being and Resilience," Paula Davis, founder of the Stress & Resilience Institute, provides a new framework to help organizations prevent employee burnout.
In this program, Paula will focus on a holistic approach to burnout prevention, providing actionable strategies for individuals, leaders, and teams.
