Birmingham City CouncilBirmingham City Council has taken a bold and innovative approach to address the risk of burnout and mental health issues during a period of prolonged intense scrutiny and transformation within corporate management services. The approach has built on the learning the public health division developed during the pandemic and with input and advice from the national Council for Health and Work and industry experts. Taking a multi-strand approach led with compassion and authenticity from the top, we have demonstrated an increase in self-disclosure and help-seeking behaviours from staff in a time of stress. We are being bold in tackling burnout.
