Burnout. Oh, the struggle is real.
But why is it so darn common?
High work demands, being constantly plugged in through technology, and the pervasive 'hustle culture' — the glorification of overwork and constant productivity — are all major culprits. Add in unclear job expectations, little control over your workload, and a lack of support from managers or colleagues, and you've got a recipe for tension.
And let's not forget about the pressure to meet society's high standards and personal life stress — they definitely don't help either. It's no wonder many employees feel overwhelmed and completely drained.
Because burnout impacts people in unique ways, this post digs into the different types of burnout. We'll explore the various manifestations of burnout and how HR can offer valuable support.
