    THE FACTS ABOUT

    EMPLOYEE BURNOUT
    And what leaders can do to prevent it

    Joshua Mier JOSHHMILLER.COM


    THANK YOU TO THE
    GALLUP ORGANIZATION
    FOR PROVIDING REAL FACTS
    ON REAL PROBLEMS
    AFFECTING REAL PEOPLE

    Joshua Mier JOSHHMILLER.COM


    DID YOU KNOW ?
    The World Health Organization declared
    burnout an occupational phenomenon in the
    11th revision of the International
    Classification of Diseases.

    The WHO offers this burnout definition:


    "A syndrome conceptualized as resulting
    from chronic workplace stress that has not
    been successfully managed."

    Joshua Mier JOSHHMILLER.COM


    The signs & symptoms of burnout ?
    According to the WHO, signs of burnout at
    work include people feeling:
    • Depleted or exhausted
    • Mentally distant from their job or negative feelings
    or cynicism about their job
    • Reduced professional efficacy

    Work burnout diminishes employees' desires to learn and


    grow. When employees are experiencing these signs of
    burnout, most of their energy and mental focus is on daily
    survival, not developing for the future.

    Joshua Mier JOSHHMILLER.COM


    WHAT CAUSES burnout ?
    Gallup research reveals the five factors
    that correlate with employee burnout.
    • Unfair treatment at work
    • Unmanageable workload
    • Unclear communication from managers
    • Lack of manager support
    • Unreasonable time pressure

    Burnout is a symptom of modern workplaces that are


    fast-paced, complex & demanding. Many employees feel
    overwhelmed by competing demands and conflicting
    expectations. And mobile technology -- has blurred the
    lines between home life and work life.

    Joshua Mier JOSHHMILLER.COM


    THE RESULTS OF burnout
    Employees who say they very often or
    always experience burnout at work are:
    63% more likely to take a sick day

    23% more likely to visit the emergency room

    2.6x as likely to be actively seeking a different job

    13% less confident in their performance

    1/2 as likely to discuss how to approach performance goals


    with their manager

    Joshua Mier JOSHHMILLER.COM


    HOW LEADERS CAN PREVENT THIS
    • Make managers responsible for addressing burnout.

    • Set role expectations and structure jobs to make work more


    manageable and engaging. Ensure that workload and time press
    sures are reasonable.

    • Encourage teamwork and shared accountability. When people


    work together and support one another, the workload gets
    lighter and challenges seem smaller.

    • Design ideal environments that are as comfortable and inviting


    as possible. Employees need spaces for both gathering and
    getting away from the buzz.

    • Make wellbeing part of your culture. Incorporate the five


    elements of wellbeing into regular conversations and
    work practices.

    Joshua Mier JOSHHMILLER.COM


    Always have eyes that see the best,
    A heart that forgives the worst,
    A mind that forgets the bad,
    And a soul that never loses hope.
