What if burnout didn’t burn down your biz?

Let’s be real, you didn’t work this hard to run your own business or get to that “corner office” only for the enterprise to go down in flames because your people are burning out (and maybe you are too…).

You’ve likely heard the buzz around burnout. It’s an “epidemic”, most workers are burning out, most leaders are burning out, and the rates of burnout keep going up leading to critical management challenges and threats to business sustainability. Challenges like:

• Procrastination

• Loss of motivation

• Reduced goals and aspirations

• Increased irritability and negativity

• Increased tensions between colleagues

• Sense of failure

• Imposter syndrome

• Cynicism and apathy

• Careless mistakes

• Reduced job and organizational commitment

• Increased tardiness

• Withdrawal from relationships

• Withdrawal from responsibilities

• Physical health problems

• Mental health challenges

• Uncooperative behavior

• Substance abuse

• Safety and security risks

• Presenteeism

• Absenteeism

• Quitting

Not ideal. Neither are the current solutions. You may have tried wellness programming and sought ways to improve the employee experience. You may even have brought in a ping-pong table or team social hours. But it’s not moving the needle, at least not enough. Why?

Because those approaches only address 1/3 of the burnout problem. We help you address all three.

A full burnout-prevention program will lead to:

• more innovative and creative employees,

• more committed employees,

• increased engagement and performance,

• better customer/client service,

• decreased absenteeism and presenteeism,

• better firm-wide performance across all industries, including stock performance,

• improved physical and mental health of employees,

• improved morale and camaraderie,

• improved operations,

• reduced turnover,

• and more.

Pretty much the opposite of that first list.

What if you and your people could become peak performers without the burnout?!

Did you know that 15-20% of payroll budgets are lost due to burnout-driven-voluntary turnover each year (Gallup, 2021). And, employees experiencing “true workplace burnout” are 57% more likely to be absent for more than two weeks due to illness (American Psychological Association, 2023).

Which begs the question, “What is ‘true’ workplace burnout?”

Through our work together, you and your team will never have to ask that question again.

We will teach you the three broad contributors to burnout, the must-have areas of alignment for preventing it, how to talk about it and create a stigma-free workplace, and how to support an employee or fellow senior leader who is showing the signs of burnout but hasn’t realized it yet themselves.

Why This, Why Now?
