Workplace Burnout Prevention and the Importance of Self Care

  An ongoing feeling of fatigue, skepticism, and inefficiency at the thought of excessive enthusiasm, physical exertion, and relationship stress is a sign of burnout.

most common causes of burnout at work:

·         Workload and time overload 

·         High pressure 

·         Ambiguity and role conflict 

·         Managerial inaction 

·         Insufficient feedback 

·         Involvement is not sufficient to make decisions 

·         Injustice and inequity 

·         Disconnecting values

Engaged representatives achieve successful results, since they are enthusiastic, eager and focused. Having representatives drawn into your organization is useful for maximizing your work and enhancing your execution, assurance, and development. Individuals and businesses are both benefited by representative commitment.

In high-energy employees, burnout occurs when personal and/or workplace stressors are not managed. Employees need to be highly engaged in order to burn out at work. It takes a lot of work and commitment to get to the point of feeling burned out. In other words, top-performing, highly engaged employees are most at risk. An engaged employee who is not supported by their manager or company, or who is unable to resolve stress on their own, can eventually burn out. The consequences can be severe. When employees burn out, the result is low productivity and high turnover - especially the turnover of the most talented and productive employees employers cannot afford to lose.

It is important to take time for yourself so that you can be at your best.
