Spotting and Preventing Burnout
In 2019, burnout was recognised and define by the World Health Organisation as a significant and costly work-related condition. It is not only costly at a business level but also very costly at a personal level, as recovery can take considerable time. In the wake of numerous global crises, both past and present, the risk of burnout is much greater, making it increasingly important that leaders, managers and colleagues understand and recognise burnout, and reduce and remove the work-related risks.
