Burnout, Organizational Stress, and Creating Presence as an Organizational Antidote

DESCRIPTION

Workplace stress affects everyone and all too often we bring it home to our families. We may feel helpless confronted with the enormous need for change in the structural aspects of large systems. However, as leaders, managers, and workers, we are able to create workplace environments that honor emotions without being controlled by them. Where interpersonal conflicts are successfully managed, and where staff have a clear set of operating values that guide our interactions with each other and our clients in ways that promote well-being. This presentation will address readjusting our own workplaces, which means thinking about them not as machines but as living organizations; not entirely dissimilar to our own bodies or “biocracies”. Thus, we are better able to describe what we are aiming for in the workplace: health for everyone.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Examine what a “biocracy” might look like
  • Describe a clear set of operational values to guide the biocratic process
  • Recognize guidelines for leaders in creating and sustaining trauma-informed, biocratic organizations
