1 Recognize the signs of burnout

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by chronic stress and work overload. It can affect anyone, but it's especially common among physicians and other healthcare workers who face high expectations, complex challenges, and emotional demands. Some signs of burnout include feeling cynical, detached, ineffective, or overwhelmed at work, having low motivation, reduced performance, or increased errors, and experiencing fatigue, insomnia, headaches, or other health problems. If you notice any of these signs in yourself or your colleagues, don't ignore them. Reach out to them and offer your empathy, support, and assistance.

One thing I've found helpful is discussing and encouraging daily small-step practices to my colleagues. This looks like mentioning the breathwork I do when we have just experienced a challenging moment in the office. Or offering insight into my own daily practices when someone inquires how I remain so calm in crisis. Openly acknowledging the positive impact having a therapist has been for my mental and emotional wellness. We can all encourage prioritizing self-care and discussing it a normal practice in the workplace. Additionally, you can speak with HR and suggest some team or group events that acknowledge and encourage an increased awareness of self-care and highlights its benefits.

2 Encourage healthy habits

One of the best ways to prevent and cope with burnout is to adopt healthy habits that promote physical and mental well-being. These include getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising regularly, staying hydrated, and avoiding excessive alcohol or caffeine. You can support your colleagues in prioritizing these habits by setting a good example, sharing tips and resources, creating accountability groups, or organizing wellness activities. For instance, you could invite your colleagues to join you for a walk, a yoga class, a meditation session, or a healthy lunch. You could also remind them to take breaks, hydrate, and rest when they need to.

3 Share your challenges and successes

Another way to support your colleagues in prioritizing self-care is to share your own challenges and successes with them. By being open and honest about your struggles and achievements, you can create a sense of trust, camaraderie, and mutual understanding. You can also learn from each other's experiences and perspectives, and offer feedback and advice. Sharing your challenges and successes can help you and your colleagues feel less isolated, more validated, and more motivated. You can share your stories in person, via phone, email, or chat, or through online platforms or forums.

I think it’s so important to be open and honest about prioritizing wellbeing, how we as leaders are doing it, the challenges we face and encouraging our colleagues to create that space for themselves to prioritize well. Sharing about our wellbeing journey helps other feel psychologically safe to do the same. One persons support can make the world of difference to an individual and a team.

4 Appreciate and celebrate each other

A simple but powerful way to support your colleagues in prioritizing self-care is to appreciate and celebrate each other. By expressing gratitude, recognition, and praise for your colleagues' work and contributions, you can boost their morale, confidence, and satisfaction. You can also acknowledge their efforts, challenges, and achievements, and celebrate their milestones, birthdays, or other occasions. You can appreciate and celebrate your colleagues in various ways, such as sending a thank-you note, giving a compliment, buying a gift, or throwing a party.

I totally agree with this. Gratitude is a big boost to productivity. I always thank my colleagues even though they're just doing their job. I also feel more fulfilled and motivated when my colleagues recognize and appreciate my work. I tend to be a silent worker, so it means a lot to me when people tell me they see everything I'm doing.

5 Seek and offer professional help

Finally, you can support your colleagues in prioritizing self-care by seeking and offering professional help when needed. Sometimes, self-care may not be enough to cope with the stress and demands of your work, and you or your colleagues may need additional support from experts. You can seek and offer professional help by being aware of the available resources, such as employee assistance programs, counseling services, peer support groups, or online courses. You can also encourage your colleagues to seek help if they are struggling, and offer to accompany them or follow up with them. You can also advocate for systemic changes in your workplace that can improve the working conditions and well-being of your colleagues.
