Employee Burnout
Tuesday June 24th, 1-3pm (College Center MPR)
When thinking about burnout, we often think about self-care as the only solution. However, that does not capture the entire picture and may not be the most effective solution. This workshop aims to reframe workplace burnout as a broader pattern of factors and circumstances, and discusses actionable ways we can identify, mitigate, and prevent burnout. Open to all campus community members.
Presented by Fresia Martinez Olivera, Associate Director of Organizational Development and Employee Equity
