Recognizing Employee Burnout and Taking Action


Listen Later

 🔥 "I'm Burned out." can mean so many different things...

  • "My workload is too much." 
  • "I don't feel like my manager cares about me." 
  • "I don't feel like I have any friendships on the team." 
  • "I don't have the right tools or software to do my job." 
  • "I have a skill gap that's stressing me out." 
  • "My manager is micro-managing me." 
  • "I don't have a healthy work/life balance." 
  • ... you get the idea.

Each of these reasons for burnout requires its own action plan. 💥

Ask the right questions to figure out  WHY behind what's causing burnout at your organization (here's a template for that)! 

Other Things I mention:

  • Gallup Study: Employee Burnout: Causes and Cures 
  • The best practice is to survey your people bi-monthly or monthly.

Weekly Tip
Encourage your leaders (and yourself!) try to show your team that you can still walk the walk and talk the talk 😜

  • Tell the CMO to design an ad or landing page.
  • Tell the VP of engineering to contribute some code on a secret pet project.
  • Tell the Head of Sales to make some cold calls (and record them so their team to listen!)
  • Tell the CEO to write a cold email campaign. 
  • Tell the Head of Customer Success to check in on some clients.

You get the idea! 😉
