There are caregivers in your organization whether you know it or not. Maybe they are caring for an aging parent or another family member such as an individual with disabilities. And without proper support, your team members will begin to feel the effects of burnout.
Some people call it compassion fatigue and others call it caregiver burnout. Whatever you call it, it is fast becoming an epidemic with an increasingly aging population.
We often think of burnout as rooted in the workplace, but many of your employees may be tired before they even start their jobs in the morning, and they are most likely doing their best to hide this.
However, this is when your organization should show that you understand their challenges as caregivers and offer them as much support as it can provide.
The caregiver burnout lunch and learn is a 90-minute in-person or virtual session that gives your employees the tools and advice they need to minimize their feelings of burnout and exhaustion as caregivers.
**This interactive session is based on real-world and personal experiences from caregiving.
It is packed with 11 essential habits that caregivers must implement to avoid exhaustion and further mental health challenges.
Your employees, and maybe even you will get a better understanding of what you can control as a caregiver, steps necessary to avoid complete exhaustion, and find the balance you must have in life with caregiving responsibilities.
Caregiving for many can go on for years and years so why not provide your team members with the tools they need to manage caregiving and at the same time, still be effective in their role within your organization.
