About The Course

Have you ever witnessed a situation at work that went against your values and beliefs? Did the experience leave you feeling shocked, upset and angry? Did the behaviour continue for an extended period? You may have experienced moral injury.

A moral injury is the damage done to one’s conscience or moral compass in response to witnessing behaviours or preventing acts that go against an individual's values, moral beliefs and ethical code of conduct. It is a cognitive and emotional response that can occur following events that violate a person's moral or ethical code. For example, healthcare staff working during the COVID-19 pandemic might experience moral injury because they perceive that they received inadequate protective equipment, or when their workload is such that they deliver care of a standard that falls well below what they would usually consider to be good enough. Staff experiencing moral injury might feel more isolated or detached from their role, so company leaders need to be aware of this issue and equipped with the tools to manage it in the workplace.

The latest research with Softer Success, Affinity Health at Work and Sheffield University on the 'Links between burnout and moral injury' demonstrated that moral injury can contribute to burnout. This is new research that has not been done before in a business setting and is helping us understand and solve the burnout problem in hybrid work environments.

This course serves to demonstrate how moral injury can contribute to burnout. What might start as moral stress could linger and if left unaddressed can turn to moral injury, and this can affect you and your teams at large. As a business and leader, how can you prevent moral injury and burnout? This course helps you and your teams build moral resilience.
