Course Description
The way we work has changed, but most courses and workplaces haven’t caught up yet.
Hybrid and remote work are now the norm, but many professionals are still struggling with blurred boundaries between work and life, constant digital overload and “always-on” expectations, declining wellbeing and rising burnout.
This course gives you a practical, research-backed playbook to navigate modern work successfully.
Learn from a future of work expert
I'm a professor of management, who regularly published in top-ranked academic journals, and has spent over a decade researching key emerging work trends like:
• hybrid and remote work
• the right to disconnect
• workplace wellbeing and performance
• the 4-day work week
I designed this course based on my own research findings, meaning you won’t get recycled advice, you’ll get rigorous evidence-based strategies that actually work in today’s organisations.
What makes this course different
Most courses focus on generic “self-care” tips. This course goes further - combining:
• Wellbeing + productivity
• Individual habits + team dynamics
• Research insights + practical tools
You’ll leave with clear frameworks you can apply immediately.
Improve productivity in hybrid work
• Use proven techniques like time-blocking and prioritisation
• Stay focused in distraction-heavy environments
• Design a workday that works for you
Understand burnout (and some tools that can help prevent it)
• Recognise early warning signs
• Understand the real causes (not just symptoms)
• Apply practical prevention strategies
Optimise your remote work setup
• Improve ergonomics and physical wellbeing
• Reduce fatigue and long-term strain
Practical tools included in this course
• downloadable checklists
• self-assessment tools
• actionable frameworks
• real-world case study
This is not just theory - you’ll be able to apply what you learn immediately.
Who this course is for
• Professionals working remotely or in hybrid roles
• Managers leading distributed teams
• Anyone feeling overwhelmed, overworked, or always “on”
• Organisations looking to improve employee wellbeing
Why this matters now
The future of work isn’t coming—it’s already here. Those who succeed will be the ones who can:
• manage their energy and attention
• work sustainably over the long term
• adapt to new ways of working
This course gives you the tools to do exactly that, and by the end of it you will:
• feel more in control of your work and time
• have a clear system to prevent burnout
• improve both wellbeing and performance
• understand how to thrive in modern work environments
Business Outcomes
• Greater motivation and engagement,
• Increased job satisfaction,
• Increased productivity,
• Reduced absenteeism,
• Lower staff turnover.

I love the topics in this training, especially the assessment part- it really helped me to see areas I am strongest in and the weakest!

Liked the course, learned plenty of new things but role play with AI is really annoying, would much rather do a quiz
By Jeffrey Mosbrucker on 6/3/2026
burnout happens when passive aggressive, managers dont address the problems in a timely manager. as a worker, you need the support of your manager. not one who doesn't support you. but looks the other way. thats what burnout looks like at work.

I tend to work more hours than I should ever since I started working from home. Phone and Laptop is always available and we support our customers in multiple time zones. I believe this course will help avoid burn-out and at the same time improve my well-being.

The trainer is knowledgeable about the topic and gave useful information which is relevant to the topic. I enjoyed this training and found it valuable.
By Yvonne Gilmour on 9/20/2020
Excellent course, which I strongly recommend to anybody who is currently working from home, particularly those who might be new to working that way. The content is highly relevant and contemporary, it addresses a growing issue suffered by many remote workers, and is professionally delivered by an experienced university lecturer.
By Jenni Anderson on 9/17/2020
This course has incredibly useful information for me and my team. It's highlighted the importance of our need to increase awareness of burnout and virtual meeting fatigue as we find out feet in this new working from home environment.
