This podcast episode features Dr. Jo Burrell, Chartered Psychologist and Co-Founder of Ultimate Resilience, discussing our recent survey of nearly 1,500 HR practitioners with Andy Goram, The Sticky Guy. The findings reveal a crisis: HR professionals themselves are facing high levels of stress, exhaustion, and burnout, despite being responsible for supporting employee wellbeing across organisations.


Two people smile against an orange comic-themed backdrop. Text reads "The HR Crisis Behind Workplace Wellbeing" with additional names.

The conversation highlights why HR’s wellbeing is a business-critical issue. If HR teams are depleted, the entire workforce suffers. Dr. Burrell advocates for HR Supervision as a vital support mechanism, providing a safe space for those in caregiving roles. She also stresses the importance of tackling stigma around showing emotion at work and emphasises the need for leaders to create psychologically safe environments where both HR teams and employees can thrive.
