It’s Time to Break Up with Burnout. Here’s How. What’s your current relationship status with burnout? Do you wish you could break up for good? You’re not alone. Across the globe, individuals, organizations, and communities are experiencing increased stress and uncertainty – and as a result, employees are dealing with burnout at unprecedented levels. The impact is staggering. A recent study from Mental Health America reports that 75% of workers are struggling with overcoming burnout, and about 40% say it was a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic. Burnout is pervasive across all industries right now, and the human services, public, and nonprofit sectors are particularly hard-hit. Saving the world is exhausting, and many nonprofit workers and the communities they serve are feeling an even greater strain today, with resignations compounding the already high levels of stress and burnout. During the post-pandemic period we find ourselves in, leaders at all types of organizations are being pulled in multiple directions in the face of physical, mental, social, and economic upheaval. With long hours and less funding, many nonprofit leaders, especially, are dealing with burnout themselves, and so may not feel equipped to offer their teams strategies to become more resilient and effective. Leaders approaching or experiencing burnout may feel physical symptoms, cynicism about work, emotional exhaustion, and reduced performance. Sound familiar? Remember, it’s not you. It’s burnout .
