WHAT IS BURNOUT?

 Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion

caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel

  • verwhelmed and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress

continues, you begin to lose the interest or motivation that led you to your work in the first place.

 Burnout reduces your productivity and saps your energy, leaving you

feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful. Eventually, you may feel like you have nothing more to give.

 Burnout and Compassion Fatigue are most common and prevalent in

workers who are fantastic at their profession!

 We have all experienced days when days when we feel bored,

  • verloaded, or unappreciated; when our hard work and efforts go

unnoticed, let alone rewarded; when dragging ourselves out of bed requires the strength and determination of Hercules. When more days feel like this than not, you may be experiencing burnout.

WHAT CAUSES BURNOUT?

 Poor job fit. If your job doesn't fit your interests and

skills, it might become increasingly stressful over time.

 Extremes of activity. When a job is monotonous or

chaotic, you need constant energy to remain focused — which can lead to fatigue and job burnout.

 Lack of social support. If you feel isolated at work

and in your personal life, you might feel more stressed.

 Work-life imbalance. If your work takes up so much

  • f your time and effort that you don't have the energy

to spend time with your family and friends, you might burn out quickly.

WHAT CAUSES BURNOUT?

 Lack of control. An inability to influence decisions that

affect your job — such as your schedule, assignments or workload — could lead to job burnout. So could a lack of the resources you need to do your work.

 Unclear job expectations. If you're unclear about the

degree of authority you have or what your supervisor or others expect from you, you're not likely to feel comfortable at work.

 Dysfunctional workplace dynamics. Perhaps you work

with an office bully, or you feel undermined by colleagues or your boss micromanages your work. This can contribute to job stress.

 Mismatch in values. If your values differ from the way your

employer does business or handles grievances, the mismatch can eventually take a toll.
