New Burnout

For those working in an ever-changing, unpredictable and complex VUCA world, the risk of burnout is high. For this reason, it is essential to be aware of the possible causes of burnout syndrome and the stages that lead to total exhaustion (mental, physical and psychological). Participants will learn to recognise the symptoms of burnout and be prepared to avoid total exhaustion. The course will be designed with situational exercises and interactive components to help participants become happier and more satisfied with their lives.

The training is recommended

• for all employees who work under constant pressure and are therefore at risk of burnout,
• managers who have a huge responsibility on their shoulders,
• managers who want to recognise early signs of burnout in their staff and provide them with the appropriate support.

During the training, the participant will learn to recognise the stages of burnout and become aware of what support is possible depending on the stage (as different support is available for each stage). Learning about and practising specific support techniques will provide the opportunity to gain methods that are close to the participant's everyday life and are tailored to their needs. The mapping of personal resources creates the opportunity to increase the participants' awareness and resilience as workers. Self-discovery is a component of the training, giving space for a kind of inner journey.

After the training, individual coaching provides participants with the opportunity to further understand the individual relevance of the burnout theme, to deepen the self-awareness part of the training, and to define and put into practice personalised resources.

After the training, a group coaching session is proposed 2 months after the training, during which the participants exchange their experiences on how to put into practice the resolutions formulated during the training and formulate further goals and concrete steps for themselves. The group also offers the opportunity to learn from each other, get reinforcement and additional tips.

These tailored follow-up steps will help participants to develop and strengthen psychological safety, thus helping to resolve anxiety and poor performance.
