Why is Burnout Important for HR and Wellbeing Leaders?
Burnout is defined by the WHO as a syndrome. In other words, it’s not a disease or specific condition, but a collection of associated symptoms. This means there’s no test you can take for burnout, but it’s real, and it can have a drastic effect.
Burnout is usually the result of chronic – usually work-related – stress that becomes too much for an individual to handle. If your workplace doesn’t take a proactive and supportive approach to burnout, your employees could suffer serious consequences.
In essence, it’s bad for your employees as individuals, and it’s bad for your business.
