Recognizing Burnout

Burnout is becoming a new Severe Symptom of the 3 year pandemic. Causes

There are several organizational risk factors for employee burnout, but six domains have been identified by researchers:

• Work overload: Having too much work weakens the ability to meet job demands and leaves little opportunity to rest and recover.

• Control: Not having an influence on decisions that affect work is a clear factor for burnout.

• Reward: A lack of recognition or reward (financial, institutional, or social) devalues both the work and workers.

• Community: Conflict or a lack of support and trust in relationships degrades employee loyalty.
