Faculty burnout, a critical issue in higher education, is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. This session will provide an overview of the issue and discuss strategies that may help faculty and academic leaders address occupational stress and burnout within CSD programs. Specific strategies aimed at reducing the impact of occupational stress will be discussed and framed within the need for faculty to consider a holistic approach to resilience building. Administrative strategies associated with workload management, fostering a supportive work environment, and promoting work-life balance will be discussed.

This course is designed with a participation
requirement that ensures meaningful engagement and learning. Participants must
be present for the entire 90-minute webinar to receive the assessment. The
assessment is a key component in obtaining both their certificate of completion

effectiveness and the overall content quality, participants are challenged to
demonstrate practical application of the knowledge gained. The required
question prompts participants to articulate and list two specific action items
they plan to implement. This promotes critical thinking about how to apply new
information in their professional practice with a forward-thinking response.
