Understanding the mechanisms of burnout
An essential module for preventing psychological risks at work
Burnout is not just temporary fatigue. It is a professional exhaustion syndrome that can have serious consequences on mental health, motivation, and performance. Yet, it is often misunderstood, or even minimized, in organizations.
This module provides you with the essential foundations for recognizing and differentiating the mechanisms of burnout. Thanks to a clear, structured, and operational approach, you will understand:
- Essential definitions: chronic stress, exhaustion, emotional overload, etc.
- The psychological mechanisms that lead to burnout, often invisible to the naked eye.
- Risk factors, whether related to the individual or the work environment.
- How to differentiate between a moment of fatigue, an episode of stress, and real burnout.
This module can be taken independently or integrated into a complete “Human Resources & Talent” course, designed to strengthen the skills of managers and HR professionals on the topics of detecting, preventing, and supporting psychosocial risks.
A foundation of understanding that will help you better detect the first warning signs among your employees… before it’s too late.
