Description

Employee absenteeism due to burnout and other stress-related illnesses costs companies vast sums of money every year. Company management is now increasingly demanding that leaders prevent burnout among their employees. But to do this, you must know how to do it first.

This course shows you which influences can create unhealthy stress in your employees and cause burnout.

You'll also see what you as a leader can do to intervene and where your limits are. Knowing which of your employees' positive characteristics and skills might be why they stress themselves out is also essential.

In this course, you will learn which actions you can take to support your employees to become more attentive to their own health with coaching leadership.

You will also learn how to sensitize your team to stress triggers so you are not the only one responsible for a healthy working environment. An attentive team will look after each other.

Managing employee Well Being is a crucial skill for leaders to have engaged, loyal, motivated, and productive employees. Employee well being is not a side-effect - it's a question of awareness and respect for our people. This course helps executives to combine employee well being AND productivity. It's not an 'either-or', it's a combination of many facets.

This course is for you if you belong to one of these groups:

• Leaders who want to preventively create a healthy work environment for their employees to have a high-performing, motivated team in the long term

• Leaders who frequently experience stress-related illness & burnout in their team

• Prospective leaders with personnel responsibility

• HR experts to support leaders in reducing or preventing burnout among employees

• Leaders who also want to prevent burnout in themselves

This course will equip you with knowledge and a toolbox for burnout prevention.

Your coaches, Axel and Sonja, have been executive coaches for many years and have often encountered the strain of stress and the threat of burnout in their clients.

From our work with employees and executives at risk of burnout, as well as with those affected by burnout, we have gathered the knowledge about causes and real early warning signs of burnout that you as an executive (and not as a coach or therapist) need to know to prevent burnout effectively and in time with your leadership. We also show practical methods to reduce stress at work.

Numerous checklists and worksheets help you to check the status quo in your team and to integrate practical measures immediately. The workbook provides checklists, templates, review questions, and tasks for all lessons to help you put the content into practice.

The number one measure to manage burnout is to avoid, by applying good management and leadership practices.

This course will help you achieve exactly that, making it unnecessary to manage burnout because you prevent burnout.
