The Burnout Invoice: What It's Costing Your Tech Team And the Tools to Fix It

The tech industry moves fast. Deadlines don't wait, sprints don't slow down, and somewhere between the Slack notifications and the all-hands meetings, your team is running on fumes.

But here's what most companies aren't tracking: burnout isn't just a wellness problem. It's a performance problem, a retention problem, and a leadership problem and it's showing up on your bottom line whether you're measuring it or not.

The Burnout Invoice is a free, virtual webinar designed specifically for tech leaders, HR professionals, and people teams who want to understand what burnout is actually costing their organizations and walk away with real tools to do something about it.

This isn't a lecture about self-care. This is a practical, honest conversation about what's happening inside your teams, why high-performing people are burning out fastest, and what leaders can do right now to change the trajectory.

What You'll Learn:

In 60 focused minutes, you'll gain:

— A clear, clinical understanding of burnout: what it is, what it isn't, and why stress management advice alone isn't enough

— The hidden organizational costs of burnout including lost productivity, increased absenteeism, and high turnover — with context for what that means in the tech sector specifically

— How to spot burnout early in your team before it becomes a resignation letter or a breakdown

— Practical, evidence-based tools you can implement as a leader or HR professional without overhauling your entire culture overnight

— A downloadable resource to take back to your team, your manager, or your next planning cycle

Who This Is For:

This webinar is built for people who carry responsibility for others at work:

— Tech managers and team leads who want to support their people without burning out themselves

— HR professionals and people operations teams navigating mental health in high-pressure environments

— Founders and executives who are starting to notice the cracks in their team's performance and culture

— Anyone in the tech industry who suspects burnout is closer than they'd like to admit

Why This Conversation Matters Now:

Burnout in the tech sector is not new but it is getting worse. The rise of remote work, always-on communication culture, layoffs, and relentless pressure to deliver have created a perfect storm for psychological exhaustion. And yet most organizations are still responding with ping pong tables and pizza Fridays.

The research is clear: burnout is a systemic issue, not a personal failing. It requires a systemic response. This webinar gives you the language, the data, and the tools to start building one.
