Fatigue and burnout are real issues for many people in organisations today. But how do you prevent burn out when you still have a mountain of work to get through?

The mistake most people make is that they think that in order to recover, they need to take long breaks off work. However, the research of Dr Fraser and Deakin University shows that the best way to prevent burnout is short, regular but consistent bursts of recovery. In other words, regularly engaging in micro-recovery. Micro-moments of recovery make it possible to reduce your chance of burnout while working at a fast pace or under high demands.

The strategies shared in this presentation have been shown in University studies to reduce stress and burnout in various stressful jobs such as paramedics, partners in professional services firms, sales teams and school leaders.
