Episode notes
Burnout Is A Specific Work Syndrome
- Burnout is defined by exhaustion, mental distance from work, and reduced performance rather than just temporary tiredness.
- Labeling the experience as burnout reduces stigma and helps people seek appropriate help.
Take Time And Build Support
- Give yourself permission to take adequate time off and reflect rather than rushing back to work too soon.
- Use coaches, counsellors and occupational health to build a support network while you recover.
Reconnect With Your Team Before Returning
- Keep in touch with your team early and plan conversations about your return so expectations and changes are smoother.
- Prepare what you’ll say and use kit/keep-in-touch days to rebuild relationships before returning.
