Managing Faculty Stress and Burnout: A Conversation for Faculty Affairs and Academic Leaders

Managing Faculty Stress and Burnout: A Conversation for Faculty Affairs and Academic Leaders


Join us to learn how to better manage faculty stress and burnout.

Overview

Stress and burnout are at an all-time high. As faculty contend with their usual obligations of teaching, research, and service, COVID-19-era challenges have exacerbated issues of work/life balance, family caregiving responsibilities, and mental health strain. In seeking to support faculty well-being, faculty affairs and academic leaders are grappling with how to:

  • Effectively convey the importance of self-care and provide guidance and support at the central and unit levels
  • Help faculty take advantage of the existing university resources and see value in making time for self-care
  • Emphasize and provide ongoing training around COVID-19 impact statements and other pandemic-era adjustments to the promotion and tenure process
  • Continue to support faculty in the face of ongoing systemic stressors like racial injustice and caregiving responsibilities during the pandemic

Join us for this free webcast recording to examine these and other related questions. Through this facilitated dialogue you will gain valuable ideas and learn how other institutions across higher education are supporting faculty through this difficult period.
