First, it was confusing that I need to put my team aside and take my peers as my first priority, but then I became more curious and then I was intrigued by the results and I'm like, 'Oh, this is so powerful. I need to put this in my own organization.' So I started with my directs like, 'Hey, we have studied about this. We did a whole session and walk them through some real examples. That's where it was like, 'Oh, we need to implement this and see it.'”- Monica Bajaj This episode is brought to you by incident.ioincident.io is trusted by hundreds of tech-led companies across the globe, including Etsy, monday.com, Skyscanner and more to seamlessly orchestrate incident response from start to finish.

IN THIS EPISODE: A recent Gallup report titled “Employee Burnout: Causes and Cures”, says that: “employee burnout is a symptom of modern workplaces that are increasingly fast-paced, complex and demanding.” The World Health Organization has recognized burnout as an illness defined as “an occupational syndrome caused by chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.” The impact of this unmanaged stress is reduced productivity, disengaged workers, and increased absenteeism. And it's been well-documented that stress can cost businesses billions each year in healthcare costs. How do we avoid becoming burned out? Today's guest, Janice Litvin, has some answers. Janice is the author of “Banish Burnout” and she is on a mission to help leaders and teams to lower stress and eliminate burnout in their organizations, so their employees can be healthy, happy, and ready to work. In this episode, we discuss: Recognizing signs of burnout so you can head it off. Some powerful strategies for managing stress for work & life. How to Set healthy boundaries to prevent burnout and ultimately, how to go from stressed out & negative to happy & healthy ABOUT OUR GUEST: Janice Litvin is on a mission to help leaders and teams banish burnout in their organizations. She does this through keynote speeches, workshops, and accountability groups. As an award-winning speaker, certified virtual presenter, and official SHRM Recertification Provider, she wants to help as many people as possible take care of their physical and mental health, including teaching them to manage stress to prevent burnout, fall in love with fitness, and eat healthier.

She has developed unique strategies to maximize engagement in workplace wellness and has also developed a stress management methodology available through her workbook, Banish Burnout Toolkit™. What makes Janice unique is that in addition to 20 years as a technology recruiter, 10 years of IT experience, and her studies of psychology, she has overcome all the challenges she talks about in her presentations. She went from being overweight and sedentary with a critical, negative attitude to a lighter, fitter, happier person who now teaches Zumba Fitness and leads stress management and healthy eating workshops and accountability groups. She is certified by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. After forming Micro Search in 1983 to help clients learn how to manage their business using a desktop computer, she became a human resource executive technology recruiter in response to her Fortune 500 clients' needs for technology talent.
