EP 123 | How to Recognize and Prevent Employee Burnout

How effectively does your organization support your team members in achieving sustainable success while preventing burnout?

Learn how to create a work environment where sustainable success flourishes on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Mel Kettle, author and host of This Connected Life podcast, shares powerful insights on preventing burnout through awareness, connection, and strategic leadership.

Listen as Dr. Joey and Mel explore:

☀️ How to identify early warning signs of burnout before they become critical
☀️ Creating a leadership culture that supports work-life balance
☀️ The importance of asking the right questions and truly listening to your team
☀️ Managing information overload in today's rapidly changing workplace
☀️ Supporting employees through major life transitions while maintaining productivity

Mel transforms organizations by helping leaders create sustainable success without burning out their teams. Drawing from her personal experience with burnout 25 years ago, she now guides others in recognizing warning signs and making positive changes before reaching crisis points.

🔑 Key Insight: "Everyone has their stuff going on. The first question should be to ask 'What do you need? What can I do to help you do your job better or enjoy your job more?' Because we all want to be enjoying what we do."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Do something today that brings you complete joy - whether it's a quiet cup of coffee before the household wakes up, a beach walk, or a call with a friend. Make this a daily practice to create positive ripples in both your work and home life.
