Workplace Emotional First Aid Kit

Burnout First Aid

A practical first-response module for managers and employees before burnout becomes a performance crisis.

Sample
Use when

An employee is exhausted, withdrawing, reactive, or unable to recover between workdays.

Outcome

Name the pressure, reduce immediate load, and create a safer next conversation.

Format

Manager guide, employee worksheet, scripts, facilitation notes, and pilot questions.

What managers get

First-response guide for early burnout signs
Conversation script for a low-pressure check-in
Load-reduction prompts for priorities and deadlines
Escalation boundaries for risk, safety, and HR involvement

What employees get

Two-minute reset for a workday that is starting to collapse
Energy map to separate overload, depletion, and dread
Boundary script for capacity, meeting load, and after-hours pressure
Recovery check-in for the next small stabilizing step

Sample manager script

"I am noticing that work seems heavier than usual right now. I do not want to turn this into a performance conversation before we understand the pressure. Can we look at what is taking the most energy, what can wait, and what support would make this week more manageable?"

Employee worksheet sample

What is draining me fastest?

Meetings, urgency, invisible work, conflict, or unclear priorities.

What can be reduced this week?

One deadline, one meeting, one responsibility, or one expectation.

What do I need to say clearly?

A boundary, a tradeoff, a request, or a risk that needs attention.

Pilot notes

Could a manager use this language without sounding clinical?

Did the employee-facing worksheet feel useful during a hard workday?

What part should be shorter, clearer, or removed before a wider pilot?

Safety boundary

This module is practical emotional first aid. It is not therapy, diagnosis, legal advice, employee surveillance, or a replacement for HR escalation when there is safety risk.

License use should begin with a small pilot and qualitative feedback, not a promise of quantified workplace wellbeing outcomes.
