Burnout. Low morale. High turnover and low employee engagement levels.&nbsp; Your company culture has taken a hit post-pandemic and despite your best intentions it&#39;s increasingly difficult to bounce back even now in 2026. Human Resources interventions can only do so much. Leadership and management are feeling the same way, so they&#39;re not much help either... In fact, they may inadvertently be contributing to the issues. In an effort to&nbsp;protect or spare employees, your managers could&nbsp;actually be&nbsp;depriving them of opportunities that would improve morale and boost retention! In this workshop, we&#39;ll talk about the &quot;a ha&#39;s&quot; that managers need in order to truly reduce burnout instead of accidentally causing it.
