BURNOUT TO BREAKTHROUGH

---

Employee burnout is at an all-time high of 66%*.  

This alarming trend highlights that employee burnout is not merely an individual challenge; it’s a significant workplace and organisational issue that takes a real human toll on wellbeing and livelihood.  The consequences for businesses are substantial, including increased absenteeism, reduced engagement, diminished productivity, and higher turnover rates. 

The Burnout to Breakthrough strategic session is designed to help senior leaders understand the root causes of employee burnout, the contribution of stress, and the influence of thinking preferences and workplace culture on individuals’ susceptibility to exhaustion.
