138. Building a Sense of Community in Business and Beating Burnout with Candice Elliot

Today Candice Elliot will be sharing some invaluable HR tips to help you avoid burnout and build a thriving community within your organization. Candice's journey is truly inspiring. She started her entrepreneurial adventure by launching a travel company at the tender age of 23, gaining valuable insights into business operations and customer service. In our conversation, we delve into the world of HR, impact, and community building. We discuss how traditional HR systems, rooted in an industrial era, may not align with modern values and needs. Candice and I talk about how employees crave control over their jobs, stable scheduling, and social support to maintain work-life balance. Candice advises managers to create capacity for their team members through prioritization and open conversations about workload and well-being. We also highlight the challenges of following through on these actions despite their significance. And finally, we wrap up by talking about creating a sense of community in your business and, of course, avoiding burnout. Candice suggests leveraging existing employee relationships and focusing on present and future actions to foster a sense of community. She even offers a free "Burnout Buster" session to help leaders identify and address burnout before it becomes a major issue.
