Through research we found that people o en feel burnout out due to the reasons listed on the right.

Stress

Workplace burnout is a type of work-related stress characterised by long term physical and emotional exhaustion. It is usually caused by a combination of issues with management, work culture and work/life balance. These stressors tend to be small and insidious, accumulating over time, leading to burnout which can be very di cult to address once it has already happened.

Following the pandemic, workplaces have moved towards remote work and working from home. This trend has only shown signs of increasing, with "work from anywhere" likely to become the norm as more and more businesses moving away from physical workplaces and hiring employees overseas. As this happens, certain stressors such as isolation and blurred work/life balance become more important as the way people work change, and thus the way workplace burnout needs to be addressed also changes.
