About this webinar

Date: February 25th, 16:00PM GMT
Speakers: Dr. Seán O’Meara, Clinical Director at Zevo and Sharon Nannetti, Global Services Delivery Director at Zevo. Facilitated by Maria McCann, Digital Organisational Psychologist at Future Focus.

High-pressure roles are entering a new phase. Sustained workload, organisational change, and intensified performance scrutiny mean pressure is no longer episodic, it is continuous. Across high-pressure environments, teams are being asked to deliver more with less recovery, reduced certainty, and growing personal strain.

In this conversation-style webinar, our speakers share frontline insight, clinical perspective, and operational experience to unpack what Q4 revealed about working under sustained pressure. Rather than focusing on individual resilience, the discussion explores the systemic patterns shaping performance, engagement, and wellbeing across high-pressure environments.

The session examines how pressure is showing up at different levels of organisations, how psychological safety and capacity are being impacted, and what leaders can do to support sustainable performance when pressure doesn’t pause.

Key Themes:

  • Performance pressure, evaluation cycles, and psychological safety
    How performance scrutiny and job uncertainty are driving self-silencing, overextension, and reduced engagement.
  • Change fatigue, trust erosion, and leadership strain
    Why constant organisational change is exhausting teams and leaders alike, and how uncertainty impacts communication, trust, and decision-making.
  • Emotional numbing, compassion fatigue, and difficulty switching off
    How sustained exposure to pressure is affecting emotional range, recovery, sleep, and the ability to disconnect from work.
  • Belonging, hybrid friction, and identity under pressure
    The impact of return-to-office anxiety, inclusion challenges, and identity threat on confidence, visibility, and psychological safety.
