Burnout can manifest out of extreme and prolonged stress and can leave us feeling exhausted, discouraged, overwhelmed and unmotivated. The World Health Organization categorizes burnout by three symptoms: feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, negativity or cynicism related to your job, and reduced professional efficacy.

Join the BCMA and go2HR to learn about burnout, recognize its signs and symptoms and add tools to your toolkit on how to aid and address burnout.
