Have you recently typed into a search engine, “what are signs of burn-out”?
Have you read articles designed to help you identify and combat burnout? Many HR leaders have—whether attempting to identify the symptoms in team members or in themselves.
On this episode of HR Power Hour, join Tawny Alvarez, from Verrill, as she talks with Anush Hansen, Certified Career Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, and creator of the Work-Life Balance Assessment, as they discuss career counseling and how companies can help to both pro-actively limit employee burnout and (unfortunately) how to respond if it’s too late to be proactive.
Helping employees re-center their work-life balance and return to a more happy, healthy, and productive career.
