About this event

Unfortunately, this event has been cancelled. We hope to reschedule it in the coming months.

Nearly 50% of engineers, like in other high-achieving professionals, experience burnout in the workplace. As they strive to attain golas and target, efficiency is reduced, man-hours are lost, and attending mental health issues are observed.

Creating this awareness, and obtaining help can lead to happer and healthier work conditions and increased productivity.


This event should qualify for one CPD Credit for Informal Activity.

Admission at Premium Membership rates is available for Premium Members only.
