Another sign of burnout is cynicism towards what you are doing and your role. This can become noticeable but recognizing it yourself, you can then take a step back and take a day or a few days to inventory your life and how you can balance it all for your mental health to succeed.

Set limits on how much work you do each day, so you don't get too stressed. Taking care of yourself helps prevent burnout.

Reduced Creativity could also be a sign of burnout. Coming up with innovative training ideas and engaging content might become increasingly challenging. Burnout can hinder your ability to think creatively and develop fresh approaches to learning.

As an employee trainer, I prioritize maintaining a healthy balance between my training sessions and backend work. Additionally, I allocate time for my personal development through monthly self-development goals and bi-annual social contribution initiatives. This structured approach not only keeps me motivated but also ensures I stay mentally and physically healthy. By nurturing this balanced mix of professional and personal growth, I effectively manage burnout and sustain my passion for training.

To manage burnout as an employee trainer: set boundaries, prioritize self-care, break tasks into smaller steps, seek support, build resilience, learn to say no, take regular breaks, practice time management, celebrate successes, engage in continuous learning, talk to your manager, and take time off when needed. Be proactive about self-care and recognize signs of burnout early on for a healthier approach to your role.

One of the best ways to fend off burnout is to keep yourself fresh. Even if you are training the same topics everyday. Learn more about them develop fresh stories and examples to illustrate your points. Take courses in topics you are interested in, they don’t have to be related to the content you deliver, the point of these courses is keeping yourself inspired and growing, investing in you so that you have something to give to others. This can be a healthy and productive boundary as well. Meaning 8-5 I do this for my audience but this one, I do for me. Have fun with this take something you’ve always wanted to try; painting, gardening, bowling, dare I say pickleball? This is your way to recharge your batteries.

I have conducted training for the machine operators who were not fulfilling sop of the machine during production. The issue were they were not literate so I designed pictorial training. All operators become trained and the wastage reduced.
