Who should attend

This webinar is ideal for any accountant, especially leaders and managers, seeking strategic approaches to identifying and addressing burnout and work-related stress in their organisation or team. 

Course overview

This webinar explores the growing issue of burnout in accountancy, delving into its root causes and providing actionable, research-driven solutions. Burnout not only jeopardises individual wellbeing but also undermines organisational performance. Traditional approaches, such as EAPs and mindfulness classes, have proven insufficient in addressing the systemic nature of the problem. This session empowers attendees with a strategic perspective, focusing on the broader work environment, team dynamics, leadership practices, and organisational culture. It emphasises the vital role of culture in breaking mental health stigma and fostering health-oriented leadership for sustainable workplace wellbeing. 

Key learning outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the causes and symptoms of burnout in the accountancy profession.
• Gain insights into the long-term benefits of prioritising workplace mental health.
• Learn about the four-tiered approach to tackling burnout effectively: individual behaviour, work environment, team dynamics, and organisational strategies.
• Understand the principles of health-oriented leadership and how to create a culture of health while addressing the stigma surrounding mental health.
