Practice Management & Business Skills
Burnout: The Silent Risk Factor
The very nature of many lawyer's roles requires them to work on challenging matters, have relentless workloads driven by fast paced client needs, maintain peak performance, often lack work-life balance and undertake fast paced and focused work. Being deeply immersed in matters with clients has the potential to put lawyers at greater risk of experiencing psychological burnout and poor mental health. In this session, Rachel Clements provides insights and strategies on:
- The definition of burnout and how it plays out in the workplace
- Protective factors that can be implemented to minimise the risk of experiencing burnout
- The neuroscience of burnout
- Wellbeing practices that are specific to minimising the impact of burnout
Presented by Rachel Clements, Director of Psychological Services, Centre for Corporate Health
