Join us Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022 at 12pm for our webinar – Are you crispy? It’s not your fault! with Dr. Wendy Hauser. Burnout is a psychological syndrome that results from chronic workplace stress that is not managed. It is characterized by emotional and physical exhaustion, feelings of isolation, defeat and a belief that personal efforts don’t make a difference. Most strategies to manage burnout are employee centered, placing the burden of solving the problem on the employee. This is misguided because burnout is a work-related problem, created by the workplace. Changes to the workplace are fundamental to mitigate burnout. During this presentation, the viewer will examine burnout: what it is, why it happens and what can be done to lessen this devastating occupational hazard. In this course, participants will examine:
- What is burnout and how does it impact veterinary hospitals?
- What are the 12 main causes of burnout in the veterinary profession?
- What six strategies can be used to address systemic workplace issues in veterinary hospitals that lead to burnout?
