Hospitality is at a breaking point when it comes to mental health - 76% of managers and 85% of shift workers report symptoms of poor mental health or burnout.
In this powerful conclusion to our Fired Up, Not Burnt Out series in partnership with Planday, we dive into the urgent question: how can we spot burnout early and stop it from spiraling?
Join host Kris Hall (CEO & Founder, The Burnt Chef Project) alongside Kathryn Wright (Manager of Customer Experience, Planday) and Emma Sanchez (People Manager, Vagabond Wines) as we explore:
-
The early warning signs of burnout and when to take action.
-
The unique risk factors in hospitality and how to manage them.
-
Practical tools from Planday’s Manager’s Toolkit to build resilience.
-
Real-life stories of recovery and hope from those who’ve lived it.
This episode blends candid conversations, data-backed solutions, and actionable advice to help leaders and teams create mentally healthier workplaces.
