What it’s about

Burnout rarely announces itself. It often shows up first as disengagement, irritability, increased mistakes, absenteeism, conflict, or a once-reliable employee simply not seeming like themselves. In industries where people, performance and safety matter every day, leaders cannot afford to miss the signs. This practical session teaches leaders how to recognize burnout earlier, start conversations that matter, and respond appropriately without trying to become a therapist. Attendees will leave with a simple framework for addressing employee wellbeing while maintaining accountability, strengthening workplace culture, and helping good people stay engaged, supported, and productive.
