Burnout Webinar | Thursday 15 September – 11.30am – 12.30pm (Online)
According to a recent AUT study, one in three Kiwi workers are feeling burned out. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises burnout as an illness stemming from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It can seriously affect employee wellbeing and result in high worker absenteeism and impact company productivity. BusinessNZ estimates that worker absence costs businesses around $1.79 billion each year.
There’s no doubt, if your people are well, your business thrives. So, let’s discuss Burnout!
Join our 60-minute panel discussion with expert speakers and learn more about:
The causes of burnout
The industries most affected
The impacts on the company
