BURNOUT
Burnout is essentially a negative feeling, where your energy decreases and exhaustion takes over. One of the most common causes of burnout can be work, and as an extension, the workplace. 1 in 5 workers experiences burnout at work, which can often cause a problem in efficiency (stat found from Mental Health UK). This can then have an overall effect on the business. The frustration of feeling exhausted, stressed, and ultimately not enjoying the environment can spread across the company, and that can lead to a spiral of demotivated employees. This is where the importance of staff well-being comes into play.
- Here are a few tips to help you get out of the burnout phase:
- Put some time into a hobby you enjoy doing
- Share your thoughts
- Put yourself first and do things that make you happy

Overall, it is important for employers to look after staff wellbeing in the workplace. This will encourage your productivity and ultimately create a positive environment for you as a staff member.
