Increasing Work Engagement

A common symptom (and cause) of burnout is a disconnect between what drew you to that position and the realities of the work. There are 3 ways you can regain the engagement you once felt in your job:

  • Add more playfulness and creativity to your day.
  • Reflect on your strengths and envision the most appropriately challenging work experience.
  • Make space for more flow at work.
