Who helps HR? | How to see the signs of burnout in yourself, and what to do about it

It’s safe to say that, after a period of rapid change and movement over the past few years, we’re now ‘out of the sprint and into the marathon’.

That is to say, the hectic dash to keep work going around COVID, which saw workers pivot roles, work from unfamiliar places, or have to adhere to strict rules never before seen within the workplace, is over.

This, however, isn’t the case for HR. In many ways, HR’s remit is a constantly-shifting, ever-evolving amalgamation of the very visible challenges faced throughout the pandemic. Legislation changes, the talent market shifts, how we learn, what we consider to be good physical and mental wellbeing, not to mention doing more with less budget.

Whilst employees may see the calm swan on the surface, under the water, HR’s legs are kicking more frantically than ever before.
