Lightfoot
After 15+ years into my career, my company downsized. I moved into a new role with complex tasks. I did not receive proper training, because most of the experienced workers were no longer at the company to lend their expertise. I was also expected to complete the daily workload of 2 full-time employees. I was overworked and overwhelmed daily.
After researching burnout extensively, I was able to create a plan of action to move forward. It wasn't long before I realized that burnout was a reoccurring trend within Corporate America.
Employees are burnt out, but they do not have to stay burnt out. Through Vitality Basics, we empower management to address their organization's burnout-related issues. The result prevents the loss of highly skilled employees while boosting their productivity levels.
