Combating Employee Burnout: 5 Strategies to Create a Healthier Work Environment with Aaptiv

Contributed by Aaptiv

Employee burnout is a prevalent issue that can negatively impact an individual as well as the entire organization. According to Gallup’s latest report titled “Employee Burnout: Causes and Cures,” nearly 76% of employees experience burnout at work, with 28% of them feeling burned out “very often” or “always.” This leads to decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, turnover, and a decline in employee engagement and job satisfaction.

Signs Of Employee Burnout

Recognizing the signs of burnout is crucial. These signs include physical and emotional exhaustion, decreased motivation and productivity, increased cynicism or negativity, and a lack of satisfaction or enjoyment in work. Burnout can also manifest as physical symptoms such as headaches, stomachaches, and sleep disturbances. Employers must be proactive in identifying these signs and taking action to address them before they have a negative impact on individuals and the organization.
