This morning while on the train ride to New York City I listened to a podcast entitled How to Overcome Burnout
I found this podcast to be informative on ways to identify it, and how you can help yourself. Also, it discussed how to avoid the negative effects of burnout
With the last 2 years of COVID there has been burnout among health care professionals. During the time I volunteered you could see on the faces of fellow nurses and doctors- the word burnout. Burnout is not a medical diagnosis per Dr Cristina Maslach. She discussed ways your employer can help its employees. I know it was difficult during March 2020 until the Fall 2020 to help the overworked employees at the hospital.
In my own office I as the employer tried to help my staff We decreased the work week from 5 days to 4 days. I feel this was instrumental, I gave employees off to see other practitioners as therapists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors. I offered each to get an intravenous vitamin drip to help their own immune system.
If you own a business, I feel it is our job to protect our employees from the stress of this toxic environment
Until tomorrow
