Overview:

Compassion Fatigue in HR: Reclaiming Your Energy When You're Running on Empty is designed specifically for HR leaders and professionals who are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or just flat-out exhausted.

In this engaging and practical session, you'll explore what compassion fatigue really looks like in your role-and more importantly, how to recover from it.

You'll walk away with clear, evidence-based strategies to restore your emotional energy, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with your sense of purpose-without losing your ability to lead with empathy.

This is not about doing more. It's about doing differently. You don't have to sacrifice your own well-being to support others. This session will help you find your footing, reclaim your energy, and lead from a place of strength-not survival.

Why should you Attend: HR professionals face a unique kind of burnout-emotional exhaustion from constant caring, juggling legal obligations, and navigating complex people issues, all while expected to stay calm, composed, and compassionate. That kind of invisible load takes a toll.

• Compassion fatigue is real in HR-and it's often hidden behind a professional smile
• Emotional depletion is not a personal weakness; it's a natural response to cumulative stress and care-based roles
• Your ability to lead others well depends on your ability to protect and restore your own energy
• Resiliency isn't about bouncing back-it's about creating space to recover, set boundaries, and show up with clarity and intention
• Emotional sustainability in HR requires practical tools, not just willpower

• Identify the signs of compassion fatigue and emotional burnout specific to HR roles
