Join Dr. Arla Day as she discusses fixing the job, not the worker.

Despite decades of research that have established burnout as a work-related syndrome, most work interventions focus on creating resilience or managing symptoms at the individual level rather than addressing systemic organizational issues. That is, organizations create conditions that lead to burnout, but they then expect individuals to 'fix themselves' rather than improve the system that creates the problem in the first place. In fostering workplace wellbeing and 'Psychologically Healthy Workplaces', we draw on psychology to understand the root causes of burnout and wellness, and to integrate individual-, group-, leader-, and organizational-focused solutions for healthier workers.
