Managing Compassion Fatigue Within your Organization
Overview:
This seminar examines how compassion fatigue has affected the business sector. It will assist in determining signs and symptoms and providing management and self-care tools to help negate and avoid reoccurrence of severe fatigue.
Why should you Attend:
We have all heard about it. We have seen it in our newspapers and our televisions. But what really is compassion fatigue? It didn’t just affect the healthcare workers but all organizations in all industries. Even if your business or employees are not in health care per sae, or seeing patients they may still suffer. From school issues to telework or losing loved ones, the emotional toll we have undergone in the last 15 months has been enormous. How can we know we or our employees have it? More importantly how can we help our employees through it as well as giving them tools to avoid it in the future? It’s not just about meditating or eating healthy. It’s about putting in the work as leaders to battle it together.
