What could we do to reduce burnouts?developer2020-03-24T14:57:20+02:00

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands.

Burnout reduces productivity and weakens your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful.
The negative effects of burnout spill over into every area of life—including your home, work, and social life. Burnout also affects you physically, lowering your immune system and making you more vulnerable to illnesses like colds and flu. Burnout is a gradual process, it doesn’t happen overnight, and because of its many consequences it’s important to deal with it right away.

EC&D has design workshops that support employees in creating their definition of success and help them to find out what is that they need to change to find balance in life and feel fulfilled and ultimately happy

Constant change is the norm for many organizations. Global economic events, advances in technology, and organizational size drive workplace change daily.

Change management strategy is a vital part of any workplace wellness strategy. EC&D can help your employees to view change as an opportunity, rather than a threat.
