Burnout

Caused by unresolved work stress, whose main features are emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and decreased work performance, it is the mental state that negatively affects the work and life of an employee.

WHO have already officially recognized the “burnout syndrome” as a disease. And according to a Kronos study and Future Workplace, Burnout is responsible for between 20% and 50% of the job turnover rate each year.

Although there are many ways in which it can be avoided, this syndrome is increasingly common, increasing between 24% and 44% throughout 2020 depending on the country.
