Positive Psychology for Burnout Prevention

 General objectives:
The complexity of organizational and social contexts has evolved exponentially, implying, for greater effectiveness and efficiency, that teams increase and diversify their way of acting. Daily emergencies and the pressure felt in everyday life require professionals to work in a coordinated way in cohesive, flexible, resilient and creative teams, oriented towards existing solutions and resources. Such a posture implies that professionals are up-to-date from a technical point of view, but also attentive to their emotions - not infrequently we feel that the energy of the first few years in the active is exhausted: fatigue arises, disenchantment and even questioning the relevance of their work.
The training plan presented is based on the approaches of Positive Psychology and Appreciative Inquiry, whose research and application in the contexts of emotions management, burnout prevention and welfare promotion, teamwork and organizational change, have shown results with positive impact on the involvement of professionals and their subjective well-being.
