Thank you to everyone who joined us for HR Warrior: No Filter | Resilience & the Emotional Labor of HR.

Dr. Esmeralda "Yaya" Rendón shared research that a lot of you already knew in your bones: 62% of HR professionals are very likely experiencing burnout, another 12% are at risk, 74% report symptoms of low mood and depression, and 55% have considered leaving HR altogether.

Her line that stuck with all of us: "HR is a helping profession, and we have never been treated like one."

If you weren't able to join, you're not out of chances to be in a room full of people who get it. Catch us next:
