Episode Title: When the Cause Just May Be the Cure: Exploring Remote Work and Burnout

Description: Remote work: a cause of burnout — or the antidote? When the COVID-19 pandemic began, employees at many organizations were told to grab what they could from their offices and head home, not knowing how long they would be there. Uncertainty took hold of the entire workforce, and record levels of daily stress and worry emerged.

Join Julie and Chas as they discuss remote work and burnout and whether working remotely helps — or hurts — burnout in the workforce.
