The Burnout Challenge by Christina Maslach and Michael Leiter has been a foundational reading for me as I've been learning about burnout since leaving my corporate job. In this episode, I share the ways that they suggest individuals prevent burnout and what organizations can do to create an environment for employees to find success.

In addition, I share the various ways that Wendy Brand Coaching is providing support on this topic through workshops, retreats, a group coaching program, and 1:1 coaching opportunities.

The Burnout Challenge offers 6 areas that would create positive conditions for the employee's relationship with the job and they are:

1.     Sustainable workload

2.     Ample choice and control

3.     Gratifying recognition and rewards

4.     Supportive work community

5.     Norms of fairness, respect, and social justice

6.     Well-aligned values and meaningful work. 

And, here are 7 elements that individuals can use to approach burnout prevention:
1.     Stay healthy
2.    Get enough sleep
3.    Relax
4.    Understand oneself
5.    Develop new skills
6.    Get away from the job.
7.    Get social support
