What if burnout isn’t simply a personal problem—but a signal that something deeper is happening inside our workplaces?

In Episode 19 of Season 3 of Caribbean Business Review, Joseph Cox speaks with Mrs Cheryl Evans Lym, Head of Secretariat at the Human Resource Management Association of Jamaica, to explore how leadership practices, organisational culture, communication patterns, technology use and workplace norms shape employee wellbeing and productivity.

The conversation examines practical approaches to building healthier, more resilient organisations where performance and human sustainability reinforce rather than undermine one another.

Topics include:
• The hidden organisational cost of burnout
• Why HR professionals may face elevated burnout risk
• Leadership, workplace culture and psychological safety
• Boundary-setting and sustainable productivity
• Why policy alone cannot solve burnout
• Technology’s role in reducing—or deepening—workplace exhaustion
• Building healthier and higher-performing teams
