Wired to Work Podcast: Why HR burnout is worse than you think

In this episode of Wired to Work, Dr Jo Burrell joins Jess Chapman to explore the growing mental health crisis facing HR professionals. Drawing on research from Ultimate Resilience’s HR Mental Wellbeing Survey, the conversation examines the emotional burden many HR teams carry, including burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and moral injury. Jo discusses how the role of HR has changed since COVID, why many people professionals feel isolated and unsupported, and why resilience cannot be treated solely as an individual responsibility. The episode also explores the potential role of reflective clinical supervision in providing HR professionals with the kind of support long established in healthcare settings.
