The signs of employee burnout

Why managing employee burnout is important

Burnout is more than a buzzword. Burnout is complete mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion from chronic workplace stress. Left unchecked, it can have dire long-term personal health and business performance consequences.

What's more, under Australia's model work health and safety (WHS) laws, Australian businesses have a positive duty to do everything they reasonably can to prevent employee exposure to psychosocial hazards and risks. Your duty as a business leader is to comply with this model Code of Practice: Managing psychosocial hazards at work.
