With COVID-19 came work from home. With that came demanding environments and constant pressure on employees to perform. These factors have accelerated burnouts at an alarming rate.

On my podcast, Garry’s Shortlist, I explore the warning signs and management of burnout in the workplace with @ Michael D. Levitt.

Michael is the founder and Chief Burnout Officer at a burnout media and consulting firm, The Breakfast Leadership Network. He is also an in-person and Certified Virtual Speaker, bestselling author, a Certified NLP and CBT Therapist and hosts the Breakfast Leadership Show podcast (just to name a few!).

His bestselling book ‘Burnout Proof: How to Establish Boundaries To Avoid The Negativity of Stress’ shares a powerful message surrounding:

 How to recognise burnout in yourself and others

 Understanding what caused your burnout

 Implementing realistic prevention techniques

We all know that safety is a key operational part of any business. But would you say it also plays a key role in your company culture? So often, the blame falls upon subcontractors for workplace incidents. Rarely do organisations take a step back and ask, 'how did we fail?'.

On my podcast, Garry's Shortlist, I am joined by Tamara Jonson - Group Head of Safety at Australia's largest privately-owned construction firm, Richard Crookes Construction. The construction firm is embarking on a transformative shift surrounding perceptions of safety and high potential incidents in the workplace.

Tamara discusses how many organisations focus and report on injuries or incidents that result in direct harm. However, Richard Crookes is taking the effort to investigate workplace incidents and take them as seriously as if someone had been left permanently disabled or killed. 

Join us as we discuss the leading construction firms' proactive safety strategies and top tips for someone looking for a career in safety. Tamara reminded me of a great quote 'hire the attitude, train the skills.' Spot on!
