Workplace Burnout: Understanding the 'Other' Negative Pressure

Burnout is a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, and it represents a significant form of 'negative pressure' in the workplace. The World Health Organization is updating its definition of burnout and adding it to the ICD-11, classifying it as a syndrome tied to negative pressures such as chronic workplace stress. If you’ve been feeling exhausted at work lately, or detached from your daily tasks, it’s time to look at burnout as the cause. While often discussed in fields like healthcare and education, engineers, workers, and support staff also run the risk of burnout. CNBC points out that 67 percent of full-time employees felt at least some type of burnout, which can lead to real-world consequences like diabetes, heart disease, GI issues, and even early death. Employers should watch for symptoms such as negativity, cynicism, and reduced efficacy, which can impact company morale and the bottom line due to increased sick time.
