People leaders are often under pressure to balance performance, change, customer demands, budgets and team wellbeing. At the same time, many employees are reporting higher levels of stress, uncertainty and fatigue. Understanding burnout, how to spot it, and what to do about it is now an essential leadership skill.

Burnout is not simply having a bad week at work or feeling tired after a busy period. It develops over time and can have serious consequences for individuals, teams and organisations if it is not recognised and addressed early.

To help people leaders across New Zealand address this occupational phenomenon, we asked our friends over at Raise* to help put together this handy guide. Download and share with anyone who might benefit from this knowledge.
