gettypaints a concerning picture of the current state of workplace stress and exhaustion."We are on the cusp of a global burnout trend," says Kate Bravery, author of the report and the Global Advisory Solutions & Insights Leader at Mercer."In the 10 years I've been doing the Mercer Global Talent report, the burnout rate is the highest I've ever seen it. 82% of the global workforce feel at risk of burnout.
"The risk of burnout is also higher when you're in the wrong job working for the wrong manager and at the wrong company," says Bravery. But when people are going through tough and overwhelming times, it's hard to see the forest for the trees. Sometimes it takes a forced pause to make people reassess work patterns. And just because one can take on a certain workload, that doesn't mean that they should.
Even if companies aren't interested in protecting well-being for well-being's sake, there will soon be a monetary hit."Investors are looking at how much companies are investing in health and well-being," says Bravery."They're looking at turnover. They're looking at successive reductions in force. And they're using those metrics as a proxy for how much a company cares about their people — and whether they're taking a short or long-term view.
