Burnout is not just an individual issue; it has become an organizational crisis that is reshaping modern workplaces seemingly every day. A recent Harris Poll conducted by Yoh revealed that nearly one in three employed Americans experienced burnout in the past year. Even more concerning is that many workers do not recognize the signs of burnout until they are already deep into exhaustion, disengagement, and declining productivity.
In this episode of Back to Work, Dr. Bryan Robinson—a licensed psychotherapist and expert on work addiction and author of more than 40 books, including Chained to the Desk, #Chill: Turn Off Your Job and Turn On Your Life and Daily Writing Resilience—discusses the root causes of workplace burnout and offers recommendations for hiring managers on how to foster a healthier work culture. The conversation also emphasizes the impact of burnout on middle managers, a group that is often overlooked yet significantly affected. As companies push for increased productivity amid economic uncertainty, Dr. Robinson cautions against the dangers of work addiction and the long-term consequences of a workforce that is burned out.
With nearly one in three American workers experiencing burnout in the past year, Dr. Robinson provides actionable strategies for leaders to transition from outdated management styles to a more empathetic, strengths-based approach.
