Burnout?
According to a study , one in five “highly engaged” 
workers reported experiencing some form of 
burnout. The global pandemic has only worsened this 
issue. Stress caused by new roles such as 
homeschooling or caring for sick relatives, blurred 
lines between work and home life, and job security 
fears have led to 41% of employees feeling symptoms 
of burnout in 2020. As an employer, understanding 
the causes and identifiers of employee burnout is the 
first step towards reducing its impacts in your 
organization.
What is Employee Burnout?
Burnout is defined as physical, mental, or emotional 
exhaustion. Employee burnout is a special type of work-
related stress – a state of physical or emotional exhaustion 
that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss 
of personal identity.
Employee burnout has been officially recognized as an illness 
by the WHO. With that, the responsibility for managing 
burnout has shifted away from individuals and towards 
organizations. While employee burnout can result from a 
number of factors, common causes include lack of control at 
your job, work-life imbalance, 24/7 connectedness, and lack 
of support. According to a survey, the top five sited reasons 
for employee burnout are:
    Unfair treatment at work
    Unmanageable workload
    Lack of role clarity
    Lack of communication and support from their manager
   Unreasonable time pressure

burnout might present itself as musculoskeletal or 
respiratory issues.

satisfaction might be the telling signs.

look at your work environment and understand what 
stressors might be causing your employees to feel

burnout and work to decrease their effects.
What Can Employers Do to Decrease the Effects 
of Burnout?
A more engaged workforce is a more productive workforce and 
reducing burnout among employee populations should be a top 
priority for all organizations. Burnout impacts each generation and 
each individual differently so combatting this issue requires 
organizations to create an adaptable strategy.
   The first step in mitigating employee burnout is to prioritize 
mental health within your organization. Creating a culture of 
acceptance ensures that employees feel comfortable seeking help. 
    Provide your workforce with education about employee 
burnout; what it is, what the warning signs are, and what 
symptoms look like. This awareness will allow employees to
