Burnout has become one of the most common challenges in academic and administrative work environments, affecting performance, motivation, and overall well-being. University staff often face continuous demands, deadlines, and emotional pressure that may gradually lead to physical and psychological exhaustion. Addressing burnout is essential not only for individual health but also for maintaining institutional productivity and a positive workplace culture. This workshop aims to provide participants with a clear understanding of burnout, its causes, warning signs, and long-term impact. It combines both theoretical knowledge and practical strategies to ensure a comprehensive learning experience. Participants will engage in interactive discussions and evidence-based exercises designed to restore mental energy and emotional balance. Practical tools for stress regulation, boundary setting, and energy management will be introduced and applied during the session. The workshop is designed to be highly interactive, allowing participants to reflect on their own work patterns and stress responses. By the end of the session, attendees will leave with personalized action steps to prevent burnout. The ultimate goal is to help university staff return to their roles with renewed clarity, resilience, and higher professional energy.
