Is your DEI work leaving you feeling exhausted?
Ongoing exhaustion related to work is termed “burnout” and is characterized as chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. DEI work is a long-game and requires careful design, diverse resources and deep support to yield meaningful results.
In episode 4 of A Recipe for Transformation, Chrysta Wilson speaks to the high risk of burnout for people leading DEI work, how to recognise it, and what needs to change to protect against it, highlighting:
- Folks engaged in leading DEI work are at at a higher risk of burnout due to the combined challenges of leading culture change, policy change, human behavior modification and systems change
- Learning to recognise burnout; the emotional, somatic and behavioral symptoms to watch for
- The 5 key things DEI leaders need in order to protect them from burnout
- The critical importance of organizations creating DEI metrics to maintain engagement in DEI efforts
- DEI leaders need more ongoing support, both personally and professionally to do the long-game work of DEI
"Those of us who are leading DEI are even more susceptible to burnout. The reason is because there are unique challenges that come from leading this interdisciplinary type of work where we’re having to look at culture change, policy change, human behavior modification and systems change.”
