Скачать или смотреть HR Wellbeing, Burnout & The Hidden Cost of Being the “People Person”

In this powerful bonus episode of In The Mixx, host Gemma Downing sits down for a one-to-one chat with Dr Jo Burrell, Clinical Psychologist and Co-Founder of Ultimate Resilience, to unpack the reality of burnout, mental health, and emotional load faced by HR professionals today.

Drawing on groundbreaking research and real-world experience, Jo shares why HR has become one of the most emotionally demanding professions, why so many HR leaders are silently struggling, and what urgently needs to change.

This is an honest, data-led, and deeply human conversation about the people who are expected to look after everyone else — while often receiving very little support themselves.
