Passos para um diálogo aberto no ambiente de trabalho: 1 - Ouvir os outros, sem julgamentos. Os sentimentos dos outros s?o sempre válidos, ainda que diferentes dos nossos. 2 - Partilhar o nosso percurso individual, porque todos já passamos por momentos em que julgamos n?o suportar nem mais uma gota. 3 - Criar um espa?o seguro e confidencial para o desbafo. Todos juntos somos um ser coletivo, composto de múltiplos seres humanos complexos. O que nos distingue dos outros seres, n?o humanos, é a capacidade de dialogar para além da a??o. O diálogo faz de nós um ser superior, um ser feito com compaix?o e em que se aceita o lugar à diferen?a.

There’s nothing more comfortable where superior trust the team and gives freehand to accomplish any responsibilities, an open dialogue may not need as well just trust can do the job.

Many leaders broadcast the "Open Door" policy to encourage their staff to open up to them. Employees often are reluctant to take up that offer if and when they do not see where this policy is helpful to them. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Employees want to feel that they are in a safe space with their leader every time that they tap into the opportunity to utilize the "Open Door" policy, so listen up carefully, and make use of each one-on-one meeting that you get with your employees.

The best way is to give them a few days off to relax and spend some time with their family. Mental health is important! And they will definitely come back to work more productive and efficient than ever.

Adequate staffing in nursing is a key element of workload management in my industry. It is a key reason healthcare cannot be quantified in dollar signs & needs to be out of the private sector. I specialized in labor & delivery as a bedside nurse for about 5-6 years. Each nurse on the unit would have either 2 patients in early labor or 1 patient in active labor. This is common practice as it is a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio in most hospitals. There is often issues with “floating down” units and then leave the remaining staff short handed & therefore the patients unsafe. “Floating down” referring to sending “available” nurses without a patient home. Most busy labor units, need at least 1-2 nurses without a patient to also assist in emergencies as well.

Workload management is an essential tool whatever your role is. One thing you could do is to write down what tasks you have got to do in your working day, prioritising your tasks in order so that you don't feel as if you're going to worry that you're not going to complete your tasks by the end of the working day - you don't want to feel this way, as it won't be beneficial to you.

O desenvolvimento profissional contínuo n?o apenas aprimora nossas habilidades, mas também desempenha um papel fundamental na preven??o do burnout. Investir em aprendizado e crescimento pessoal n?o só nos torna profissionais mais competentes, mas também nos ajuda a manter um equilíbrio saudável entre desafios e bem-estar. Ao promover oportunidades de capacita??o, treinamentos especializados e mentorias, estamos fortalecendo n?o apenas nossa equipe, mas também criando um ambiente que incentiva a inova??o, a criatividade e o engajamento. Buscar constantemente novos conhecimentos e experiências pode ser uma poderosa ferramenta na luta contra o esgotamento profissional.

prioritizing staff development creates a more resilient and adaptable workforce. Employees who feel supported in their growth are likely to be more loyal, reducing turnover rates and associated recruitment costs. Furthermore, a culture of continuous learning fosters innovation, as employees are more inclined to bring fresh ideas and updated knowledge to their roles. This investment in human capital not only enhances individual performance but also drives the organization’s overall success and competitiveness in the market.

Not only is this a positive boost to job morale and satisfaction but the support also shows the staff the appreciation of the work they do. New skills and information learned brings back enhancement to the work environment. Best ROI-- win win.

En mi experiencia, el agotamiento viene de un ambiente tóxico o aburrido.. si no hay retos o iniciativas para que el staff clínico pueda crecer, esto traerá como consecuencia que el personal no de su 100%… es importante tomarlos en cuenta e incluso invitarlos a ser agentes de cambio tomando problemas de la organización y proponiendo soluciones.. con esto generamos confianza y deseo de crecer. Pero, es importante que la organización tenga una cultura y herramientas que permitan este desarrollo, ya que de no ser así, solo causaremos lo contrario a lo que buscamos.

The workplace today is becoming more competitive. We often hear employees complain that they are bored on the job. Boredom should not be tolerated, because this is a big red flag that shows that the employee has lost interest. Keep employees active with professional development incentives if you want to avoid unnecessary job turnovers and retain your best staff. Your staff will constantly be looking for the next challenges for training.

No job is more important than your health. I encourage my team to book “rest” days at regular intervals. Too many people think annual leave is for holidays and don’t take time off if they have no plans. Perspective is also key: each individual operates in the context of a plethora of other non-job related commitments which all demand our time and energy. Juggling these whilst trying not to drop anything will really take its toll. We are all human and should be supportive and realistic to ourselves about how possible it is to have and do it all without some form of bite back from our physical or mental health. Setting boundaries in our aspects of life is key.

Being a martyr and pushing yourself to ‘miss breaks’, ‘stay late’ or work extra doesn’t actually help you or your colleagues. This peer pressures others to attend when they don’t have the physical or emotional capacity. Or it means you are showing up depleted which will mean you are ineffective (even if you think you are fine). Value what you give, give ?? to the role and then give ?? to yourself and the recovery. With the Olympics on I am reminded that the recovery is as important as the performance.

I will make this one a simple as possible! In our fast-paced lives, it's important to find moments of joy and relaxation that enrich our days. I want to emphasize the importance of adding a hobby and moments of joy to our daily routine, rather than just thinking about combating burnout at work. Hobbies allow you to explore new interests and discover passions that bring genuine joy and excitement into your life. Whether it's painting, playing a instrument, or learning a new language, engaging in activities you love can bring a deep sense of satisfaction. So my TWO most important tips for incorporating hobbies: 1.Dedicate specific times in your week for your hobby! 2.Don’t be afraid to try new activities to find what you truly enjoy!

Implement wellness programs that promote physical and mental well-being. This could include mindfulness sessions, fitness activities, access to counseling services, or promoting work-life balance.

Lead by example and demonstrate empathy and support for your team. Be accessible, offer guidance, and advocate for their needs within the organization.

Supportive leadership can prevent burnout by encouraging open communication that promotes honesty and reduces isolation. While recognizing and appreciating employees’ efforts can boost morale and motivation. Offering development opportunities keeps employees engaged, and promotes growth through learning that allows employees to recharge. Lastly, and most importantly, demonstrating empathy and support builds trust and security. These practices create a healthier work environment, reducing the risk of potential burnout.

Triage patients. Set an appointment system. Have monthly rewards for high performance employees . Start a monthly contest for good employees to motivate teams

Ouvrir le dialogue sur les situations vécues par les aidants familiaux. Des journées dédiées aux démarches d'accompagnement peuvent être octroyées.

I agree about leading by being the example you wish to see in your employees. Scheduling frequent meeting to give constructive feedback. Work on bringing out the best in them by creating a supportive environment that allows them to take calculated risks.

Increase pay and decrease workload per person. Make sure everyone can maintain healthy work/life balance and has vacation on a regular basis. Watch the management, make sure there's no toxic managerial impact. If you SPOTTED burnout of you team, not of just one person, you've probably gone wrong way before.

Give them a few days off for a mental break, but let them know it will be comp time instead of using theIr PTO. Meaning to say, the hours they spent away will be paid back maybe in increments or every pay period. Or adjust their schedules to 4-10s. Or allow a virtual/work from home schedule every week. Let your employees know they are supported and offer an employee help line/ support group.
