  This event will focus on Employee Burnout!

  SESSION TITLE:

  When is Netflix better without pizza? When you’re trying to cure or counteract Z73.0 (Employee Burnout).

  Session Description:

  How much do you really know about Employee Burnout? It’s more than just a feeling of being overwhelmed- it’s a real diagnosis and its effect is more far-reaching than may be imagined. It affects the deskless and disconnected, the home-bound, the hybrid and the in-person/on-site employee. It affects executives, leaders and front-line workers alike, but not all in the same way. Join our panel to learn more about the causes of this condition, to discuss potential cures (hint: pizza parties are no longer the answer) and to learn how companies can counteract burnout. We’ll also have time for attendees to share their thoughts, ideas and questions about how burnout in the workspace has impacted them or their team.
