UX professionals face unique stressors: high stakeholder demands, rapid context switching, chronic understaffing, and underrecognition, all of which can drive burnout. Our talk uncovers the primary burnout triggers in UX.
We’re using insights from our recent study combining leading burnout frameworks with survey data from UXers across various regions, specialties, and levels. We’ll provide tools for identifying burnout early, integrating proactive self-care, and fostering resilience in UX workflows.
Participants will leave with practical methods to enhance well-being, advocate for supportive environments, and maintain sustainable engagement in their UX careers.
