Breaking the burnout cycle with positive interventions

Capital H: Putting humans at the center of work

Employee burnout is more than just work stress. Left unchecked, it can impact retention, organizational performance, and personal health and safety. In this week’s episode, we sit down with Elizabeth Linos, Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy, University of California Berkeley. Elizabeth shares key findings from her behavioral science research on the rise and repercussions of employee burnout. She also explains how practical interventions based on affirmation and social belonging can drive down burnout and absenteeism—and ratchet up engagement, decision making, and service delivery.
