TSW Women in Business S1/EP4 - Women and Burnout

In this far reaching episode concerning burnout host Helen Chorley sits down with three successful business women to discuss how, what and why women are ever increasingly experiencing career related burnout and breakdown.

In a recent McKinsey survey 1 in 4 employees experiencing symptoms of burnout - women experience burnout at a higher rate than men - and this is only getting worse. A 2022 survey showed that the gap between women and men is almost double what it was the previous year, with 42% of women feeling 'burned out' - although productivity is seeing an all time high.

Good news is that burnout usually takes only a few months to recover from - but in severe cases it can take over a year.

Joining Helen is independent brand consultant specailising in upscale lifestyle offerings with over 20 years experience Vanessa Colerio - who teaches meditation in her spare time; Elaine Dutton is a psychologist, Business & HR Consultant, Trainer & Coach and Public Speaker and Ashmi Ahluwalia is an emerging markets consultant with 16 years' international experience managing commercial teams across brand, strategy & partnerships, People Leader & Executive Coach across Gaming, Fintech & Edtech.

Host Helen shares her own experiences of burnout and along with her guests she delves into personal journeys, the definition, cause, early indicators, symptoms and the road to recovery for this common workplace related condition.

Watch and relate.
