“The Great Exhaustion” is a new term describing the current phenomenon of large sectors of our workforce experiencing burnout and stress. Rates of anxiety, depression, and stress have reached record highs. This has significant consequences that goes beyond individual wellbeing and impacts organizational health in areas such as productivity, morale, safety and retention. Organizations need to reckon with this reality in order to be sustainable. This talk will provide an overview of wellbeing from both an individual and systems level in order to help both flourish into the future.

This free lecture is made possible by the Timothy W. and Katherine Altorfer Swain Endowed Lectureship in Community Health and is a join effort between the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria and the UIC Library of the Health Sciences. The lectureship honors the late Timothy W. Swain who serve on the University of Illinois Board of Trustees and was instrumental in bringing the University of Illinois College of Medicine to Peoria.
