preventing burnout

burnout is not a buzz word. it’s real. it’s impacting your people.

Now more than ever your team are feeling the pressure. Increasing workload. Less people to do the work. Increasing financial constraints at home. It’s all getting harder. Don’t think for a second that this is something you can ignore or brush off as ‘temporary stress’ or something that’s ‘not your business’.

It is. It’s part of your responsibility to care, to provide an environment that supports and minimises unnecessary pressure.

Question, are you?

What’s the impact of burnout?

Burnout is now an epidemic. Over half of employees report feeling burned out on the job. As an employer, you have a duty to address this crisis head-on.

Burnout goes far beyond just feeling stressed. It's a debilitating fog of exhaustion that drains people of energy, purpose and joy in all aspects.

Signs to look out for:

  • Negativity about work

  • Constant fatigue and lack of energy

  • Missing deadlines or declining quality

  • Lack of concentration and motivation

  • Short temper, irritation, and impatience

  • Increased anxiety, sadness, or feelings of ‘is this it?’

This is not just a bad day or week. It's chronic workplace stress that keeps piling on until your employees hit a breaking point.

Think about it:

  • How often are you seeing these signs?

  • How many have these signs have you seen in your team?

  • How much longer can you ignore it and hope it goes away?

Reality. The impacts of burnout are severe.

For individuals, it can leads to insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic illness and more.

For organisations, it causes lower engagement, profits, shareholder returns, and customer satisfaction. More stress for you.

With over half of employees burned out, this needs your urgent attention. Prevention is possible if company leaders like you take deliberate action to improve the people experience and as a bonus increase performance and profits.

What’s included in the workshop?

  • Burnout awareness

    Understanding the difference between overwhelm and burnout and how to assess your own level as well as identify potential signs in those around you.

  • Burnout Identification

    Identifying the events and situations that lead to overwhelm and how these come out as behaviours and feelings, plus awareness of potential triggers.

  • Burnout prevention

    Learning practical skills and habits that you can turn to to break the overwhelm burnout cycle. This includes resilience, awareness and a toolkit of strategies.

Why should you care?

Because you’re a decent human being. Because you know that people are your greatest asset and you know that ignoring it and pretending it’ll go away is NOT an option.

Whether you’re leading a growing business or navigating the ups and downs of having to make difficult decisions in an a challenging economic climate, if you’re the sort of business leader that we work with, you know how vital your team are your success.

But let me give you the truth:

  • Preventing burnout boosts retention. Replacing an employee costs up to 213% or more of their salary. Plus retraining and having to re-establish team dynamics.

  • Preventing burnout increases productivity. Burned out employees operate at 50% capacity or less. Avoiding burnout keeps your team engaged and energized.

  • Preventing burnout improves wellbeing. Burnout takes a devastating toll on mental and physical health. You can choose to be part of the solution.

  • Preventing burnout enhances company culture. Burnout creates negativity and cynicism and that can spread. Preventing it maintains a healthy and inclusive culture.

  • Preventing burnout grows your bottom line. Burnout reduces profits by limiting productivity, causing delays, mistakes and increased sickness. Avoiding it directly improves your financial performance.

    As a coach, I help businesses become more successful and build better structures, better ways of working, better communication to get even better results from your teams. I can also coach the leader(s) of the business on how to be confident and improve personally. This will help their professional career to lead and manage their team to deliver better results.

Let's do the dam thing!

so let me ask you this…

With Woolf’s help how much additional profit do you think your business could do in the next 12 months? £50k? £100k? £250k? £1mil? More? I’ve helped businesses deliver an extra 20% in the first year.

As long as it’s worth significantly more than your investment and minimises unnecessary costs, it’s got to be worth doing, right?.
