Burnout affects an increasing number of employees, including managers. How to fight it? Here is a wellness renewal program at Głęboczek Vine Resort & SPA.

Burnout

Do you observe reduced motivation among employees, even reluctance to work and cynicism towards colleagues?

Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion resulting from prolonged engagement in emotionally demanding situations. Numerous studies indicate that this issue is becoming more common. According to a Pluxee Polska study among management staff – 67% of managers struggle with burnout. According to a 2023 study for Capterra: 71% of managers worldwide face stress and burnout. It affects most those under 35 years old. Among them, nearly 76% are burned out, and 40% of them are looking for a new job.

Causes of burnout

1. Unclear expectations: Managers often face unclear or conflicting expectations, which hinders effective duty performance and leads to frustration.
2. Heavy workload and multitasking: Overload and numerous distractions lead to chronic fatigue and a sense of overwhelm.
3. Stress and frustration at work: High levels of stress and frustration related to responsibility for team results contribute to burnout.
4. Limited opportunity to focus on strengths: Lack of opportunity to use strengths lowers job satisfaction and increases burnout risk. Managers spend most of their time meeting the needs of others.
5. High level of responsibility: Large responsibility for decisions and team outcomes generates stress and pressure, contributing to burnout.

The entire organization loses from managers' burnout

Imagine that 2 out of 3 managers working in your company are experiencing burnout. What does that mean?

Burnout leads to a series of negative consequences for both the individual and the organization. Employees affected by burnout often experience chronic fatigue, resulting in decreased efficiency and productivity at work. Reduced engagement and motivation can lead to more frequent absences and higher staff turnover, generating additional costs for the employer.

Moreover, burnout negatively affects employees' mental and physical health, leading to issues such as depression, anxiety, or insomnia. It may also deteriorate interpersonal relationships at work and in private life, further deepening feelings of isolation and helplessness.

In the long term, organizations may lose innovation and competitiveness if they do not pay attention to burnout and do not take preventive and supportive actions for their employees.
