The speaker, Dr Bek Wuay Tang, will share her insights with us on why burnout is not simply “too much work” but a chronic mismatch between people and their jobs, and how that directly shapes whether people feel engaged or depleted at work. Drawing on her practitioner experience with organisations and teams in Singapore, she will clarify the difference between everyday stress and true burnout, and show how gaps between job demands and resources, workplace culture and employees’ values, and who people aspire to be versus how they feel in their roles can quietly erode wellbeing and commitment.

Following the talk, join us for an information session on our specialised Master’s in Business Psychology, where you’ll learn more about the program and curriculum.
