Employee Burnout

Employee burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress and overwork. It can lead to feelings of cynicism, detachment, and a lack of accomplishment at work. Symptoms include fatigue, irritability, and decreased productivity, which can affect both personal well-being and job performance. Burnout often arises from high job demands, insufficient support, or poor work-life balance. Recognizing and addressing burnout is crucial for maintaining a healthy workforce and fostering a positive work environment. Employers and employees alike benefit from strategies aimed at prevention and recovery.
