RE: Staff Assembly Spring Meeting

The Spring Staff Assembly Meeting is on May 5th in the Cabernet Room of the
Silo from Noon to 2 p.m. The featured speaker is Dr. Christina Maslach. For
the past twenty years, she and her co-author Dr. Michael Leiter have been
the leaders in the study of burnout. They have written a powerful new book:
The Truth About Burnout. The authors show convincingly that the causes -
and solutions - of burnout are to be found primarily in the organization,
not the individuals. Then they give individuals resources for working
within their organization to climb out of burnout and back to vitality. 

Dr. Maslach is a lively, interesting speaker. She goes beyond
simple-minded, individual stress management to the core of how to
personally redesign our work environment. For those UCD staff tired of
downsizing, restructuring, pressure for increased efficiency through
technology, doing more with less.....this speaker is not to be missed.
Following the meeting, Dr. Maslach will sign her book and books will be
available for sale ($25.00). 

Light refreshments will be served at 11:45 and supervisors/managers are
encouraged to come with their staff. This is personal and work time
productively spent! Release time, with prior supervisory approval, is
appropriate.
