According to recent studies, burnout has been steadily rising, and workplace burnout is becoming an acute problem that employers must address in new ways. One Aflac study shared that more than half (59%) of all American workers are experiencing at least moderate levels of burnout, which represents 2 percentage points higher than in August 2020, the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
There are numerous sources and causes of burnout, and each of us has different coping mechanisms and approaches for trying to deal with what feels overwhelming in our lives.
