The Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce will present a workshop about employee burnout 7:30-9 a.m. on Wednesday, May 17, at SUNY Adirondack, Scoville Learning Center, 640 Bay Road, Queensbury.
The ARCC Workplace Health & Wellness Council is coordinating “Stop, Drop and Roll: Addressing Burnout in the Workplace.” Sue McManus, executive director of Adirondack Employee Assistance Program will be the presenter.
As a follow up to the discussion from last year’s event Reclaim Your Brain, audience feedback requested further discussion around the issue of burnout in the workplace, how to identify it and how to address it, ARCC officials said.
The discussion will assist in defining and identifying burnout, creating mindfulness exercises, enhancing the understanding of vicarious and collective trauma, providing tips on having difficult conversations about fatigue in the workplace, and discussing what employees can do to recover.
McManus is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified employee assistance professional (CEAP). She has 40 years of experience in the mental wellness and addiction field, serving in many roles in the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States.
Event registration will run 7:30-8 a.m. It will include a breakfast and networking session before the program begins.
The cost is $30 for ARCC members and $40 for non-members.
