Stress management and resilience training for employees are popular approaches to prevent burnout, but they are only part of the solution.
Stress can seem like an inevitable consequence of a fast-paced work environment. However, when it reaches chronic levels, it can result in what the World Health Organization (WHO) describes as an “occupational hazard” known as burnout.
In its latest International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), the WHO defines burnout as a “syndrome conceptualised as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed”.
The World Economic Forum estimates the syndrome is costing the global economy US$322 billion annually.
