Topics covered are:
Compassion Fatigue
Compassion fatigue is physical and mental exhaustion that many employers are experiencing after caring for their anxious employees over the past two years.
In this session, MindFit at Work will teach you how to:
• identify signs that others are not coping
• support your teammates and clients
• practice self-care by setting personal boundaries.
Managing Burnout Fatigue
Burnout fatigue, like compassion fatigue, leads to physical and mental exhaustion. The global pandemic has left both employers and employees in need of rest and workplace flexibility.
In this session, MindFit at Work will teach you how to:
• restore enthusiasm and energy in your teams
• set aside time each day to replenish yourself
• implement fatigue-busting hacks.
#Hack Your Performance
Bursts of energy come for different people at different times of the day. Sometimes one hour is enough time to finish an entire project, and sometimes only a few emails can be sent in that time.
In this session, MindFit at Work will teach you how to:
• create a schedule that utilises your most productive working hours
• replenish your brain at regular intervals
• manage your time more effectively
• use the Pomodoro technique.
