Combat Workplace Stress And Burnout
Course Overview
Have you ever faced a situation at work that conflicted with your values and beliefs? Did it leave you feeling shocked, upset or even angry? Did the behaviour persist over time? If so, you may have experienced moral injury.Moral injury occurs when an individual’s conscience or moral compass is compromised due to witnessing or being unable to prevent actions that conflict with their values, beliefs, or ethical code. It is a cognitive and emotional response triggered by events that violate a person’s moral framework. For example, during the recent pandemic, healthcare workers might have experienced moral injury when faced with inadequate protective equipment or when heavy workloads prevented them from delivering care to their usual standards. Such experiences can leave employees feeling isolated or detached from their roles, making it critical for leaders to recognise and address this issue effectively in the workplace.
Recent research conducted by Softer Success, Affinity Health at Work and Sheffield University on the “Links between burnout and moral injury” highlights how moral injury contributes to burnout. This groundbreaking study in business settings offers valuable insights into understanding and addressing burnout, particularly in hybrid work environments. This course explores how moral injury can lead to burnout and how unaddressed moral stress can escalate, affecting both individuals and teams. As a leader, how can you prevent moral injury and burnout? This course provides the tools to help you and your team build moral resilience.
Over a series of short video-based lectures, you will gain a deep understanding of how to create teams that are aware of their values and moral systems. You will learn to foster a culture where leaders take responsibility for their actions, acknowledge mistakes, and embrace vulnerability. The course will also guide you on how to strike a balance between protecting your team and safeguarding your own wellbeing, helping you focus on what can be controlled while letting go of what cannot.
Through storytelling, you’ll discover a powerful tool for sharing visions, diagnosing operational challenges and strengthening team dynamics. By experiencing the impact of stories as a cultural diagnostic tool, you’ll be equipped to apply this approach systematically in your role. You will also develop relational superpowers to build stronger connections within your team, ensuring that every individual feels heard and valued. The course introduces the “Art of Mattering,” helping leaders create environments where their teams feel connected to their work and empowered to contribute fully.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge and strategies to prevent moral stress and injury, empowering yourself and your team to thrive with resilience. You’ll leave equipped to navigate challenges with confidence and build a culture of integrity and support.
