Building sustainable performance.

“You don’t need to go on holidays to prevent burnout, you can recover while you are working”

What the presentation focuses on.

With the massive levels of disruption seen in our lives, burn out is a real issue for many people in business today. When team members burn out their performance plummets which means they are more at risk of being disengaged, which then leads to a dysfunctional impact on the culture of the team. 

But how do you prevent burn out when you still have a mountain of work to get through?

Dr Adam Fraser’s research has proven that it is possible to improve your wellbeing while working at a fast pace or under high demand. 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 Adam Fraser and Deakin University shows that the best way to prevent burn out is short, regular but consistent bursts of recovery. Recovery is a regular habit we need to do each day, each week and each month. We can recover while working hard.

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 principals.
