Workshop A: Managing workloads and reducing burnout through effective work design
Friday 21 November, 8:30-11:30
In an ideal workplace, tasks and demands should provide a positive and reasonable sense of challenge and engagement. However, unmanaged and excessive challenges and stressors often lead to burnout and resentment. Chronic burnout erodes the engagement, energy and involvement of employees, and can wreak havoc on their sense of self-confidence and purpose in their roles.
Causes of burnout tend to be embedded in organisational structures and management styles, making burnout mitigation a key focus of good work design. In the context of ongoing regulatory changes, employers have a clear legal obligation to manage psychosocial risks of job demands and stressors.
This workshop will help you ensure work demands are not overburdening employee and creating burnout. This workshop will support your teams in:
- Identifying specific teams and employees expressing symptoms of burnout
- Assessing root causes of burnout in organisational design, job demands and team dynamics
- Reducing psychosocial hazards without compromising crucial operational goals
- Ensuring workplace culture fosters agility, early intervention and open feedback between leaders and workers
This workshop will help you identify, assess and address burnout in your employees before it’s too late. Register now, and work for improved satisfaction, productivity and job retention in your organisation!
