As a manager, recognise and interpret stress factors and symptoms in employees … act

Burnout is booming … according to current figures from the AOK, nine times as many sick days are attributable to burnout last year as in 2004. Weighted per 1,000 AOK insured persons, the number of days of illness in 2010 was around 72 compared to 8 days in 2004.

The damage caused by burnout is immense. According to an analysis by the German Federal Chamber of Psychotherapists in 2010, 11% of all days of absence are attributable to burnout.

Beyond the direct costs incurred by the company for continued pay and replacement personnel, the indirect costs are serious: employees who are burdened by burnout perform less, become indifferent to their tasks and are more negligent in their dealings with customers. In addition, weaknesses in concentration can lead to an increase in errors, which then lead to complaints, loss of quality, production delays and even loss of orders and customers.

Sufficient reasons to sensitize managers to the stress factors in the company – so that they can (under)support employees and also provide adequate self-care.

This seminar is about identifying stress factors at the workplace (of the employee and your own workplace) and learning about possibilities for burnout prevention.
