The Burnout Awareness Workshops – Prevent, Recognise & Respond

Overview

Burnout is one of the biggest threats to wellbeing, productivity, and retention in today’s workplaces. These workshops are designed to help companies take action before stress becomes a crisis.

Grounded in the Burnout Awareness Charter (BAC) and led by burnout specialist Katie Maycock, in partnership with Includability, this 4-part series delivers practical burnout training focused on prevention, culture change, and sustainable performance.

Each session blends insight, storytelling, and strategy, helping you build a healthier workplace where people can thrive - not just survive.

The Cost Case for Early Action

Stress-related absence costs UK employers billions every year. The average cost of one employee off work with burnout can exceed £1,500, while presenteeism can cost even more.
By training Burnout Awareness Champions, your company can spot burnout early, support staff proactively, and reduce turnover — all for less than the cost of a single absence.
