Welcome to Part 2 of our powerful conversation with HR expert Martina Teufner on how HR can prevent burnout—not just manage it after the damage is done.
Picking up where Part 1 left off, this episode dives deeper into the how:
How to balance business goals with employee wellbeing
How to build trust and train leaders to recognise burnout
And how to create a workplace culture that supports, not punishes, people who are struggling.
Martina and Chris also discuss the fear employees feel about speaking up, the cultural stigma around burnout, and why the future of prevention depends on honest conversations and flexible thinking.
🎯 Topics in Part 2:
How HR can support flexibility without sacrificing performance
Training managers to recognize early signs of burnout
Leading by example, why leadership behaviour matters
The danger of toxic silence and how to speak up safely
Employee advocacy and policy change from the ground up
What the future of burnout prevention could (and should) look like
