In Belgium, since Sept. 1, 2014, burnout prevention must be done in companies by law. At the end of the workshop, participants and the organization have a clear and concrete picture of where they stand in terms of identifying burnout and what actions they can/should take if certain needs are out of balance.
Burnout occurs because employees expect that certain needs will be met at work. When some of these needs are suddenly not met, we experience “frustration. If these frustrations build up, it can cause considerable ‘distress’. If this process goes on for a long time and the employee ‘no longer sees a viable solution to deal with his distress’, he ‘falls ill’; we then speak of ‘burnout’.
– Background information on mechanisms and processes that can lead to burnout.
– Verifying “What Is Now.” Putting the participant in touch with how he/she really experiences the current situation and through an interactive exercise discovering which of the 9 needs are in or out of balance.
– Determining how the participant “wants” the situation.
– Determining the steps to be taken to
achieve it.
– Taking the 4DKL test: This test
indicates the degree to which a participant is leaning toward burn-out. The test consists of 50 choice questions classified according to 4 dimensions: distress, depression, anxiety, somatization.
– The organization will receive a report after the workshop with recommendations to prevent burnout.
