Burnout recovery doesn’t end when someone returns to work, in many ways, that’s when the hardest part begins.

In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, burnout survivor and podcast host Chris Wilson speaks with HR expert Martina Teufner about the emotional reality of returning to the workplace after burnout. They discuss the often-overlooked fears employees carry, what HR can do to create safe re-entry spaces, and why reintegration needs more than a policy on paper.

🎯 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏:

• What returning from burnout actually feels like

• The emotional risks of speaking up

• Why many reintegration processes fail

• The gap between company policy and employee trust

• HR’s opportunity to become a bridge, not a barrier

📍 Part 2 continues with how to build a supportive recovery culture, protect HR boundaries, and create meaningful change.
