As a society, the idea we have about burnout is all wrong and it’s hurting both younger generations who are new in the workforce as well as those who are trying to manage them.

What really is burnout?

Burnout is a feeling of profound disconnection from your work and its value. And it’s this disconnection that leads to a specific kind of stress. There are several key factors that lead to this: Missing the meaning of your work, a lack of control, unclear job expectations, extremes of activity, and lack of social support.

Can managers prevent burnout?

What can employees do to avoid burnout?

All that, AND MORE!
