How to Spot Signs of Employee Burnout w/ Trung Tran, Amplio

According to the World Health Organization, burnout results from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is typically characterized by three dimensions: feelings of exhaustion; increased mental apathy towards one’s job; and lack of confidence about your abilities. Burned-out employees are 63% more likely to take a sick day, 2.6x more likely to be actively seeking a different job, and 13% less confident in their performance.In this HRchat episode, we discuss ways to help limit the risks of employee burnout and what to do if you spot employees suffering. Bill's guest is Trung Tran, CEO at Amplio, a company on a mission to help businesses retain talent by helping them to avoid burnout. Trung has spent his career in silicon valley working for companies such as HP and Intel. He worked on the development of 72 products worth $2.2B in revenue. His interest in AI stems from his work at DARPA on next-generation AI systems and algorithms. He remains passionate to the idea that AI should help people reason better and not replace them. Questions Include:What causes burnout? How has the pandemic contributed to employees feeling stressed, anxious and/or over-worked?  Avoiding burnout means understanding one's current state and knowing how to manage one's stress. Is it always obvious to an individual that they are approaching/living through burnout or does it sometimes require an outsider to spot the signs? What role does Amplio try to play in helping to combat (potential) burnout?Amplio claims to collect both subjective and objective data to yield the best results. In combination with interactive surveys, your team uses devices such as the Garmin Watch, Whoop band, Google Fitbit, and the Emotiv headset to gather psychological data and physiological data. What has been the response of employees to being asked to wear such monitoring devices? How important do you think it is for employees to feel supported by their companies?In terms of lost revenue and productivity, what are the costs to employers of having burned-out employees? How can employers spot signs of burnout early to avoid longer-term health issues? We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

How to Measure Workplace Inclusion Efforts w/ Joe Gerstandt

In this episode of the HRchat show, Bill Banham talks DEI in the workplace with Joe Gerstandt. Joe is a keynote speaker, author, and consultant on a mission to bring more clarity and new practices to DEI efforts in organizations. He has worked with Fortune 100 corporations, small non-profits, and lots in between.Listen and Hear Joe's Answers to These Questions: You have an interesting career journey - serving in the marine corps for four years and spending six years working in management and business development for technology and communication companies. How did that experience shape your ideas around DEI?You use the word 'inclusion' in a couple of different ways: 1) You talk about the active process (to include), and 2) You talk about the experiential outcome (to be included). Can you explain the difference between the two and why it matters?KPIs: What should leaders and the HR dept be measuring to check that DEI efforts are working?How can design thinking help with DEI efforts? Is the fault with middle management? You say "I think if we really want to change the way employees feel, if we want them to feel more included, probably the big blow for that is changing the behaviors of the people around, especially their manager". Are you saying middle managers are the issue? Or is the issue of poor adoption of DEI the result of the C-Suite too? Inherent biases in the workplace: You have said "I think real, sincere, sustained behavior change almost always involves a certain amount of identity change. That's deep and serious and hard work". How can we all change our mindsets and get our heads around how that experience could help others?More About Joe Gerstandt With a passion for helping people interact differently in the world, Joe is dedicated to throwing out old rules and replacing them with creative new strategies that better serve today’s society. By helping his audiences remove false barriers, Joe is able to liberate the unrealized potential that exists in individuals, groups, and organizations.Joe speaks at numerous conferences and summits, and blogs at joegerSupport the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.
