Whether you're a member service representative or C-suite executive, work can get overwhelming in the credit union world. But as the saying goes, you can't pour from an empty cup, so it's crucial to take time for your mental health and well-being to prevent burnout.
No one knows that fact better than Pam Cohen, a longtime human resources executive who currently serves as COO for Affinity Federal Credit Union ($4.4 billion, Basking Ridge, N.J.), a role that includes overseeing the credit union's people and culture areas.
In this episode of Shared Accounts With CU Times, Cohen shares her best anti-burnout strategies for credit union employees, including those who work remotely and struggle with drawing a line between their work and home lives. She also discusses how employees can use their benefits intentionally, when to know it's time to move on from a draining work environment, and how to identify whether a prospective employer's culture is healthy or toxic.
So, if you're feeling stressed out about work or just want to avoid work stress in the future, take a deep breath, turn off the notifications on all your devices (they can wait!) and give this episode a listen.
