Recommend nurturing a mentoring system where team members can support each other, particularly in high-stress environments like aviation. When one of our technicians expressed burnout due to the pressure of solo inspections, we paired them with a senior colleague for peer support. This shared responsibility allowed them to balance their workload while still meeting safety standards. Peer mentoring distributes responsibility, preventing burnout by ensuring no one person feels overwhelmed by the safety-critical nature of their tasks.
