Dr Ben Searle will be discussing burnout in two different sessions at the upcoming 2026 APS Industrial & Organisational Psychology Conference being held in Melbourne this October 29-31.
Burnout: Complexities and Controversies
Friday 30th, 16:30
Burnout is a problem we need to understand a little better. What is the nature of this condition and what are we misunderstanding about it? Where are we going wrong, and what should we be doing differently? Dr Ben J Searle chairs this panel of burnout experts, who will attempt to answer these and other questions about burnout.
Identifying Early Warning Signs of Burnout
Saturday 31st, 11:45
When considering whether someone is experiencing burnout, are we looking for the right things? What if the signs of burnout changed from early stages of the condition to late stages? Dr Ben J Searle presents the results of his Experiences of Burnout 2025 study to explain how we might identify early warning signs of burnout — and why that’s an important thing to do!
