How line managers can spot burnout early and support their teams: Line manager essentials training

Описание: Burnout rarely happens overnight. It builds quietly over time - and line managers are often the first to notice the signs.

In this first module of the 'Supporting team wellbeing as a manager' course, Kevin Bazeley, Associate Consultant at Wellity Global, explains how line managers, people managers and team leaders can spot early signs of burnout and take supportive action before things escalate.

This video focuses on practical, everyday management behaviours that help protect employee wellbeing, team performance and engagement - without needing to diagnose or “fix” mental health issues.

Recognise early signs of burnout, stress and emotional exhaustion
Understand burnout as a workplace wellbeing issue, not just tiredness
Spot changes in behaviour, confidence and performance
