5 Predictors for Employee Burnout

 


According to a Global Business Technographics Workforce Benchmark Survey, Forrester Analytics 2019, here are the 5 key predictor for employee burnout:

 

  1. 78%  Lack of recognition for hard work and accomplishments
  2. 72%  Recent changes that affect them
  3. 45%  Micromanaging boss
  4. 40%  Corporate politics
  5. 33%  Devices or applications break often

 

To prevent burnout in your team:  Recognize their hard work and accomplishments, communicate changes that affect them early and often, give them autonomy to do their job, help them navigate office politics (because they cannot be avoided), and invest in the tools they need to do their jobs to the best of their abilities.
