A group of global community members – from countries including Germany, South Africa, and the United States, convened last week to tackle the challenge “How might we equip leaders to guide their teams through uncertainty & complexity?”
#HRvsBurnout: Combating Burnout in HR
The research is in: HR is burned out. Not that we needed the media to tell us that. Eighteen months of serving as caretakers to ourselves, our families, and our organizations is starting to take a toll on our collective well-being.
We wanted to help with what we know best – using design thinking to ideate our way out of a complex problem like this. More than 50 community members registered for our #HRvsBurnout virtual hackathon in early September and left “energized” and “refreshed” after gaining empathy and ideating with peers.
These are the ideas community members shared during the hackathon, via social media using #HRvsBurnout, or through our anonymous survey.
