Webinar: Teaming Up Against Burnout

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST

Burnout has become one of the most talked about workplace topics, and its impact is far-reaching. The 24/7 pace of work, constant demands, and too few resources can easily put legal professionals on a path to burnout, a cycle that has only accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout affects the health and well-being of the entire legal organization, yet most attempts to help focus on quick-fix strategies aimed at individuals. Something is missing. In this program, Paula Davis will focus on a holistic approach to burnout prevention, providing actionable strategies for individuals, leaders, and teams.
