Engagement vs. Burnout: What Companies Keep Getting Wrong—and How to Fix It with Stavy Papasotiriou

In this episode, our guest host Anaïs welcomes Stavy Papasotiriou to explore one of today’s most critical workplace challenges: employee engagement. Despite companies worldwide investing heavily in benefits and perks to boost engagement, global engagement levels remain disappointingly low. So, what are organisations missing? Anaïs and Stavy examine why traditional approaches often fall flat, discussing how HR departments may be misinterpreting engagement and relying on superficial benefits instead of addressing core psychological needs. Drawing from organisational psychology, they define what true engagement looks like—and how it differs from mere job satisfaction. The conversation also touches on the pivotal link between engagement and burnout, exploring how an engaged employee is essentially the positive counterpart to a burned-out one. Anaïs and Stavy share insights on how to spot burnout within a team and identify early signs before it escalates. Join us for practical strategies and best practices for creating a culture that not only maximizes engagement but also minimizes burnout, paving the way for happier, more productive teams. Whether you're an HR professional, manager, or employee, this episode offers valuable takeaways on ensuring genuine engagement in any workplace.
