It's Friday, end of a pretty long week for me. So, let's talk about burnout 🔥 ...

At @FutureForum's Reimagine Work Summit on Wednesday, we heard from many C-Suite execs that one of their top concerns was "employee well-being, increased levels of stress, and the risk of burnout" especially as we approach almost 1️⃣ full year of working remote in a pandemic

We certainly see this manifest in our @FutureForum Remote Employee Experience Data. Our latest refresh shows that while productivity continues to improve, sizable challenges are visible on work-life balance & our ability to manage stress futureforum.com/2021/01/28/hyb…

As a working mom, I feel this exhaustion so deeply in my bones. "I was fine in the fall but now I’ve hit a wall and I’m loco, as in my brain done broke-o.” @nytimes @nbcsnl on Why Your Brain Feels Broken nytimes.com/2021/02/24/par…

So much is going on to compound push us into stress:
🗓️ We are addicted to meetings
🤹 Trying to juggle everything - work and life
💻 And new / middle mangers are not equipped to support their teams in this sea of constant uncertainty

How do we prevent burnout? Start with the small, simple steps

⛔ Get better at saying No (or at least Not Now)
🗓️ Kill more meetings - challenge every recurring mtg
