Brandi Olson on How to Address the Challenge of Culture of Performance without Burnout

Addressing the challenge of building a culture of high performance without leading to burnout is a critical concern for organizations.

High performance is essential for businesses to stay competitive, achieve success and deliver value to their customers. However, an overemphasis on performance without adequate attention to employee well-being can lead to burnout.

✊ Organizations must recognize that preventing burnout is a long-term, ongoing process that requires ongoing attention and investment. It requires a commitment to employee well-being, clear communication, and a willingness to make changes to work practices as needed.
