Some reach a burnout point. The World Health Organisation has defined burnout as: <strong><em>\u201ca syndrome conceptualised as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed,\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Burnout has three main\u00a0<strong>evidence<\/strong>: alienation towards work, exhaustion, and reduced work performance. It is not just stress, but it<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>can be a sign of it. According to a study from the University of California, stress may have a positive impact in terms of work stimulation and motivation, but a burnout has no benefits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Burnout disorder can be difficult to diagnose. Its symptoms\u00a0are similar to those of other mental illnesses. There are\u00a0<strong>physical<\/strong>\u00a0signs, for example, stomach issues or headaches. Also,\u00a0<strong>emotional\u00a0<\/strong>symptoms, just like exhaustion or lack of energy\u00a0are\u00a0common.\u00a0Depression\u00a0can\u00a0be\u00a0a\u00a0burnout\u00a0<strong>consequence<\/strong>\u00a0but\u00a0can\u00a0also\u00a0be behind it.\u00a0People start seeing work as exhausting and disappointing, which leads to a decrease in professional efficacy. \u00a0Heavy workload, little control over job decisions or no social interactions are\u00a0<strong>factors\u00a0<\/strong>that may play a part in burnout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A recent Gallup survey from 2018 showed that\u00a0<strong>23%<\/strong>\u00a0of employees were \u201cfeeling burnt out at work very often or always\u201d. Receiving professional help and support at work is fundamental to tackle this issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Managers, leaders and the workforce need to be aware of burnout situations and have a plan to address them.\u00a0Companies\u00a0need to create <strong>healthy work environments<\/strong> that help avoid this condition. To do this, it is essential to\u00a0fairly treat\u00a0the workforce. Also, giving <strong>feedback<\/strong> and support is crucial to prevent stress, to make sure workers understand their tasks and employer\u2019s expectations. Changing the position\/project, offering\u00a0time off from work, vacations and flexible hours are <strong>ways <\/strong>to help people overcome this issue. Organisations should also promote employees\u2019 hobbies in order to let them rest and disconnect<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Stressful jobs<\/strong>\u00a0are not synonyms of burnout disorders, but only if workers know how to handle stress. A healthy work-life balance, exercising, and getting enough sleep are examples of strategies that may help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We should not forget that work performance and success depend on\u00a0<strong>working hard<\/strong>\u00a0as much as they depend on\u00a0<strong>health conditions<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>wellbeing<\/strong>. So, prioritising our\u00a0health and our needs will only have a positive impact on our lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Studies from the University of Leuven, in Belgium and the Utrecht University, in The Netherlands, showed that burnout levels are more prevalent in <strong>non-EU-countries<\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>Luxembourg and France<\/strong>\u00a0are the western European countries with a higher risk of burnout.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><u>References: <\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">How to Tell You Have Reached the Point of Burnout, August 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/stress-and-burnout-symptoms-and-causes-3144516\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">verywell mind<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">5 Signs That You Are Experiencing Burnout From A Job You Love \u2013 And How To Fix It, June 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/burnout-signs-symptoms_l_5cf143efe4b0e8085e390737\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HuffPost<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Job burnout: How to spot it and take action, November 2018, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/adult-health\/in-depth\/burnout\/art-20046642\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MAYO CLINIC<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmarschaufeli.nl\/publications\/Schaufeli\/500.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Burnout in Europe<\/a>, October 2018<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":20557,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","myguten_meta_block_field":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20554"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20554\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
