What Is Employee Burnout?
Burnout is a state of chronic physical and emotional exhaustion, often caused by prolonged workplace stress. If left unaddressed, it can lead to disengagement, poor performance, and even mental health disorders.
5 Common Signs:
Irritability or withdrawal – Employees may stop participating in meetings or isolate themselves.
Declining performance – Tasks take longer to complete, or errors increase.
Chronic fatigue – Evena after rest, employees feel mentally and physically drained.
Increased absenteeism – Frequent sick leaves or arriving late can signal a deeper issue.
Lack of motivation or emotional detachment – Employees seem uninterested or emotionally disconnected from work.
How to Help:
Implement regular wellness check-ins to create a safe space.
Offer professional help through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Encourage breaks, vacation time, and healthy work boundaries.
Provide workshops that equip managers to recognize and support burnout signs.
Addressing burnout is not just about retention — it's about fostering a healthy culture.
