Beating Burnout: Finding Community and Rediscovering Purpose as a Benefits Leader with Jennifer Weinstein, VP of Benefits, Albertsons Companies & Author, Benefits Burnout: How to Fall (Back) in Love With Your Employee Benefits Career

77% of employees report burnout, but for benefits professionals, it's a silent crisis. They spend every day taking care of everyone else while quietly running on empty themselves.

In this episode, Jennifer Weinstein, Vice President of Benefits at Albertsons Companies and author of the new book Benefits Burnout: How to Fall (Back) in Love with Your Employee Benefits Career, joins host Dane Thorwaldson to unpack why the benefits profession has become a perfect storm for exhaustion. With over two decades in the field, Jennifer shares what led her to write publicly about a topic most people only discuss behind closed doors, why "multiple hat syndrome" and healthcare headwinds are pushing benefits professionals to their limits, and practical ways leaders and individuals can reconnect with their purpose, set boundaries, and find their way back to loving the work.
