SUMMARY:Lancaster Speaker Series: Dr. Dayna Lee-Baggley – The Burnout Burger: The role of psychological safety in preventing burnout in the workplace
DESCRIPTION:Speakers\n\n \nDr. Dayna Lee-Baggley\n\n\nRates of burnout have never been higher. However\, the conventional focus on self-care falls short.

Attendees will gain insight into cutting-edge\, evidence-based tips and techniques\, empowering individuals\, leaders\, and workplaces to effectively address burnout and foster the well-being of both employees and organizations. \nAccreditationCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved for 1 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hour under Section A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1 Continuing Professional Development hour.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR BC & Yukon for 1 Continuing Professional Development hour.\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of Ontario may consider counting this program for 1 Substantive hours; 0 Professionalism hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may consider counting this program for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider this program for 1 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nAdditional InformationRegistration Fee – Single Attendee\nLive webinar\, video\, and MP3 Bundle: $195\nLive webinar: $125\nVideo and MP3: $125 \n(Registrations must be paid in advance of the webinar)\nPlease contact us by email\, or by phone at (416) 977-6618\, for discount pricing for additional participants and group orders. \nRegistration Information\nThe video recording and MP3 file are available for download and viewing one business day after the live event.
