Recommendation

If you are feeling burnt out, you are not alone. The number of workers suffering burnout has sharply increased during the pandemic. Worries about job security, health concerns and added childcare responsibilities have only compounded workplace-related pressures.  But as Olga Khazan writes in this eye-opening piece, burnout is primarily a workplace problem – and only employers can fix it. Her article offers tangible solutions for employers who want to be proactive about employee wellbeing. 

Take-Aways

  • Burnout manifests itself in both mental and physical symptoms.
  • People misunderstand the role of the workplace in perpetuating burnout.
  • Depression and burnout can be mutually reinforcing but are not the same.
