A CONNECTED PRACTICE

Each area can involve the person, work and wider organisational context.

THE ORGANISING PRINCIPLE

The presenting problem is only the starting point.

Burnout may originate in workload, leadership or person-job misfit. Reduced motivation may reflect anxiety, role design or a career that no longer fits. Conflict may require individual support, relationship work or organisational change. The integrated approach locates the problem before selecting the intervention.

EIGHT CONNECTED AREAS

Key areas of work.

The areas are shown separately for clarity, but workplace challenges frequently cross several of them at once.
