Welcome to Share, Inspire and Explore, a podcast exploring burnout recovery and workplace well-being. In this two-part conversation, HR expert Martina Teufner joins theShare, Inspire, and Explore podcast to unpack burnout from an HR perspective. Drawing on over 12 years of experience and her own personal journey through burnout, Martina shares honest insights about the realities HR professionals face, often unsupported, unacknowledged, and under pressure to “fix” everyone else.

• The ripple effect of burnout on employees and teams
• The impact of COVID-19 and return-to-office debates
• HR’s role and limitations in supporting well-being
