How Managers Handle Employee Burnout

If I asked you if you’ve ever been overwhelmed by work, a majority of you would say yes. I’m confident in saying that, since employee stress is one of the top sources of stress for Americans. 61% of people say that work is a factor in their stress. In fact, this is such a common problem that it deserves its own definition within the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases. LINKS: ____________________________________________ https://etactics.com/blog/employee-bu... ____________________________________________ The World Health Organization includes a description for burnout in ICD-11. This description relates to stress, negativity, and emotional exhaustion specifically resulting from one’s job. It’s described as an occupational phenomenon because burnout is affecting so many people in the workplace. 77% of people have reported feeling burned out at their current job. Because it impacts so many workers, managers need to take steps to improve the situation so their employees stay productive. Unfortunately, most workers don’t think their managers are doing enough to help the situation. Around 70% say that their employers don’t do enough to prevent or ease burnout. 21% say this because their company doesn’t offer any helpful programs or initiatives. Even worse, 36% say that their organization is doing nothing to help with the problem. This could make employees feel like the company doesn’t care about their struggles. Only 21% felt like they could have open and productive conversations with human resources about solutions to burnout. 56% said that HR didn’t even encourage these conversations. But even though many workers don’t have the support they need to manage work stress, they still believe there are ways that employers can help. For 56% of people, flexibility was overwhelmingly listed as the top way that their company could support them. In fact, more managers are starting to recognize the importance of flexibility. A survey found that this was the most popular solution by managers. 34% of employees said that their company was increasing flexibility to try to solve the problem. A survey found that 90% of virtual workers and 77% of on-site workers took advantage of this flex scheduling benefit. Another way that managers are addressing burnout is with paid time off. This includes vacation time and mental health days. A majority of Americans don’t use all of their vacation time. And even when they do, coworkers and bosses still contact them during their time off for work-related reasons. This only disrupts their work-life balance. Managers should instead encourage their employees to take vacation time. Around 80% of people say that they’d take more time off work if their employers supported and encouraged them to do so. 36% of employees say that more paid time off would reduce burnout. This vacation time can increase job satisfaction and productivity, which benefits employees and the company. And most managers do see the results of this. 84% of them reported that their employees had increased productivity after a break. Finally, managers simply provide more support to their staff to ease burnout. Like I mentioned before, many employees feel a lack of this from their company and HR departments. They don’t feel like they can talk about their struggles with burnout, and they feel limited support with taking time off work. However, support from management is shown to decrease burnout, which is why companies are making it a priority to provide this. Workers with strong support from their managers are 70% less likely to feel burned out on a regular basis. Since so many people experience stress from their jobs, it’s no surprise that the World Health Organization classifies burnout as an occupational problem. It’s one of the main stressors for people across the country and affects a majority of working adults. Because of this, managers need to find solutions to ease burnout. Many people currently don’t get enough support from their companies. But as employers start to see proven results from some of their solutions, other managers will follow their trends. ► Reach out to Etactics @ https://www.etactics.com​ ►Subscribe: https://rb.gy/pso1fq​ to learn more tips and tricks in healthcare, health IT, and cybersecurity. ►Find us on LinkedIn:   / etactics-inc​   ►Find us on Facebook:   / ​   #Burnout #BurnoutTraining
