Anticipating and Preventing Company Burnout
Burnout is a real risk for any employee. It is a natural human reaction to a work-life situation that simply doesn’t work anymore. Consequently, leaders should use a wholistic, company-wide approach for mitigating the risk.
Although anyone can experience burnout, some groups do experience it more than others. For example, women experience more burnout than men- 43% of women leaders are burned out, compared with 31% of men at their level.
This could result from a range of factors: women may face more workplace discrimination, they may have more child rearing responsibilities on top of work, or they may simply be more open about expressing their emotions.
