Imagine the scenario, you full enjoy every aspect of your work- performing to a high standard, managers are confident that you deliver when under pressure. You get engaged and buy a house – all within a year. Unexpectedly, you have a minor operation and are expecting to take 2 weeks off from work. You diligently prepare your work to minimise the impact on your colleagues. Upon return, you expect to resume your usual work practice. Soon after, you persistently feel overwhelmed leading to inadequacy and frustration. This affects your confidence and you become irritable at home. Your sleep becomes erratic and struggle to make logical decisions. That was journey to burn out. It does not have to be a big traumatic event but a series of small negative thoughts.
Being a former Manager, I know the value of a cohesive and happy work environment. Having experienced burnout, it is my passion to work with employers to be proactive in supporting staff well-being. Building a resilient workforce is beneficial for the company and is socially responsible.
