Presented by Andrea Pemberton

Throughout the pandemic, burnout rates among employees hit record highs as workers struggled to adjust to alternative work environments, manage increased workloads and juggle work-life balance. Burnout is a psychological syndrome associated with prolonged stress at work that has been linked to multiple negative health outcomes that threaten employee and organizational well-being. With burnout levels continuing to rise and contribute to the ongoing Great Resignation, it is important for individuals and organizations to address burnout head-on.

At this session, attendees will learn:

• The impact of burnout on individuals and organizations.
• How to identify signs of burnout among oneself and coworkers.
• Strategies for preventing and mitigating burnout at an individual, managerial, and organizational level.

At this program, we will be raffling off one free registration to the OKHR State Conference. All proceeds from this raffle will be donated to the SHRM Foundation. Tickets are $10 for one, $25 for three or $50 for six. You may purchase tickets prior to the event here.
