| Did you know it is your best people who are most likely to
go from 'stressed' to 'burnt out'?
 Do you know
the warning signs, who is at risk and what happens when people burnout?
Have you identified
the best approach to job burnout for your organisation and which
resources will be most effective?
Are you offering
the best individual support to stressed or burnt out employees so
they can return to work well, and you can cut sickness absence time?
Our training and
staff support programmes, give people
what they need to work, in a positive way, with what stresses them.
When good information is provided and self-knowledge is fostered,
the motivation to act and make change, naturally follows.
Identifying job burnout - know who is at risk
Your best people have the greatest risk. This is because
they put more of themselves into their job, spend more time at work,
are more responsible and take work more seriously and personally.
It is unlikely that less committed executives, managers or members
of staff will experience burnout.
The problem is they will be the last to recognise - or admit -
that they are feeling disillusioned and burnt out. When they do,
they are likely do all the wrong things to try to correct it and
attempt to deal with it on their own. This is the nature of the
typical burnt out employee.
If you don't know or miss the warning signs, the chances
are they will be heading for long-term sick leave. You will have
lost one of your best people and be left to finance the recruitment
and training of their replacement.
Warning signs - what happens when people burnout
-
Their performance is impaired but it is likely they will spend
increasing amounts of time at work in attempt to regain control
or return to previous performance levels.
-
They become slower in their responses, accumulate work and
don't deliver as promptly as before. Or they become speedy in
the way they work, but are less effective
-
They exhibit irritability or even aggression towards clients
or co-workers.
-
They become isolated, depressed or non-communicative.
-
They may show stress symptoms like excessive sweating, nervousness
or panic, headaches, back pain or more frequent periods of illness.

Burnout Solutions offers the following options in training, staff
support, and consultancy:
Staff support programmes
1. Coaching Programmes
The aim of coaching support is to enable people to explore what
is stressing them at work or in life and to create strategies to
help them get the best out of both. One-to-one coaching programmes
are for individuals who recognise this need, whether executive,
senior manager or member of staff. Sessions run for forty minutes
and take place over the phone, which means you never have to worry
about finding such specialised help in your local area.
Advantages of Coaching
Offering coaching programmes to employees, whether fully funded
or subsidised has many advantages:
The focus
of every session is entirely personal and responds to the situation
of each individual. Therefore the response and recovery
time is quicker than a one-size-fits-all approach.
People have
the opportunity to explore the effects of stress with the expertise
of their coach and devise unique strategies for dealing with it.
This fosters an ethos of stress-resilience, self-responsibilty
and self-help, that transfers itself to others in the organisation.
Coach and client
form a collaborative partnership, where the client is the expert
on their own life and the coach is expert in how to help them develop
it to the maximum. Developing people, means a developing
organisation. The life-skills that are learned during the
coaching process, create more rounded, creative, fulfilled and healthier
people, all of which bring further benefit to you.
2. Teleseminars
The aim of the teleseminar series is to use training and coaching
along side each other, while enjoying the dynamics of a small group
and the benefits of shared experience.
"The Core Principles of Overcoming Stress
and Burnout" are a series of live telephone seminars,
which run throughout the year. Facilitated by a trainer and coach,
they are like attending a one-hour weekly course without having
to leave your home or office.
The seminars are interactive and fun and only small
numbers people attend, so that there is maximum gain. Seminars are
accessible from anywhere in the world, as long as you can reach
a landline phone.
Training Programmes
Our training programmes address the needs of managers and employees.
Managers need to be stress-aware, to meet targets as well as fulfil
their duty of care to staff. Employees need information, self-awareness
and skills with which build resilience to stress.
Courses take place in-house and can be taken from our exisiting
programme or designed to suits the needs of your organisation or
individuals within it.
1. Employee Training Programmes
The aim of employee training is to raise awareness of the causes
and effects of stress and burnout. We focus on themes such as: stress
habits and how to change them; fostering resilience; getting the
balance right; lifestyle management.
2. HR, Management and Employer Training Programmes

evaluation, to identify areas for improvement and appropriate strategies
for change.
