Focus on making sensible work. Nobody likes wasting their time. And yet, staff end up spending an enormous amount of their day searching for the things they need, redoing mistakes, taking too much time to do the work because the best way to do something most efficiently has never been documented (let alone systemically trained). The Stanford Wellness Model attributes 1/3 of burnout to the way work is organized. Why not make a practice of "MAKING WORK BETTER" by gathering your team on a regular basis, specifying (in writing) the best way to do the work you do most often so everyone benefits from the crowd's wisdom, and engaging those who know the work to iterate making it better - on a regular basis.

Conduct regular (for me it's weekly) one on one meetings with all staff members to review their workload. Actively collaborate with them to prioritize tasks and where possible take things off their plate by eliminating or delaying work on low priority tasks, assigning them to someone else, or offering to assist where you can. Make sure that during your one to one sessions you are actively seeking feedback not just on what they're doing, but how they're feeling. Create a safe space where they can speak freely and help identify time wasting tasks or barriers to productivity or challenges with co-workers. Follow through by eliminating barriers to productivity wherever possible.

I see many great examples of positive active support and supervision advice. But..... Low caseload sizes! Our clients need our services and our interaction. It takes time. Give them enough time.

1.The most important thing that I have noticed is the need to make the employees feel that the management is concerned about their physical and mental well being, and not just turn over. 2. Regular meetings should take place between managers and staff where staff should be allowed to voice their concerns and be able to put across changes if any to the work schedule etc. Skinny teams should be offered help from other robust teams or work redistributed. 3. Activities like meditation, outings should be arranged on a regular basis to deal with stress that is generated and keep team from heading towards a burnout. 4. Opportunities like flexi hours and work from home should also be offered to ease any family issues of employees.

Para prevenirlo, primeramente el jefe de área o gerente debe ser conciente que están con grandes cargas de trabajo y con esto tomar acciones. hay que estár muy pendientes de la salud mental de los colaboradores y no centrarse netamente en el resultado a como de lugar. Respetar los horarios de trabajo y descanso, e incluir dentro de la jornada laboral peque?os breaks para recuperar ánimos y desconectarse, de esta manera vuelves renovado a las labores.
