What is burnout?
Burnout is a state of extreme physical or/and emotional exhaustion arising from sustained, long-term workplace stress. It frequently manifests in physical or/and emotional exhaustion, feelings of apathy or cynicism as well as reduced productivity and lower work quality.
Why is burnout important?
According to a Harvard study, the US government spends $125 billion to $190 billion annually to cover healthcare costs related to psychological and physical problems related to burnout. Employers pay, too. Burnout creates added costs resulting from decreased productivity, low employee engagement, high turnover rate and loss of top talent.
Despite also being profoundly harmful to employees’ health and well-being, burnout is often misunderstood, overlooked and stigmatized.
