Safe teams, strong minds: How inclusion and relationships protect against burnout


In this IIL inclusion and diversity webinar, Matt Aleksic explores how workplace relationships, leadership behaviours, and inclusive culture impact burnout, drawing on attachment theory and legal sector research to offer practical strategies for creating psychologically safer teams.
Burnout is often treated as a personal issue, but growing evidence suggests it’s deeply relational. Drawing on attachment theory and emerging research, this webinar explores how early relational patterns shape our behaviour at work, influence our response to stress, and contribute to burnout. Reflecting on insights from the broader legal profession, where burnout is a well-recognised issue, the speaker examines how workplace culture, leadership behaviours, and psychological safety can support or undermine wellbeing.
In this session, attendees will gain insight into how fostering inclusive, relationally-aware environments can reduce burnout, and build stronger, more effective teams across sectors.
Learning objectives:
- Why traditional, individual-focused approaches to burnout often fall short
- How deeper relational patterns shape stress responses and team dynamics in the workplace
- What inclusive leadership and psychological safety look like in practice
