Attaining Work-Life Balance in an Era of Burnout
The reason many of the solutions fail is because they falsely believe burnout is an individual problem, rather than a collective problem. The source of burnout was captured rather elegantly in a survey of 7,500 full-time employees by Gallup, which found the top five reasons for burnout are (1) Unfair treatment at work, (2) Unmanageable workload, (3) Lack of role clarity, (4) Lack of communication and support from their manager, and (5) Unreasonable time pressure.
Notice how none of these problems are remotely addressed by mediation apps or Yoga? Companies are completely missing the mark when it comes to addressing burnout.
