When an employee first realizes that something crucial is happening with their well-being, it is never an easy way to get out of it. Some prefer to deny the very fact of the problem – and it’s not the worst option, because sometimes it works. Many upsets left to their own do fade away. But some other actions being plunged can make the situation worse.

I used Amazon’s Super Bowl ad methods and found 38% more burnout in women.
 

Quite the contrary, males are at highest risk of burnout in the beginning of the career 

There is a mounting body of work researching the link between gender and stress, and it is well-documented that men and women are differentially exposed to work stressors. Also, they are affected in different ways, with a toll being higher for female employees. However, until now the relationship between age and gender and burnout remained unknown. 

The perils of being the only one person with a particular background at job 

Thanks to advancements in the diversity and inclusion policies, adopted now by many companies and public organizations alike, there are people from different backgrounds joining the workforce. But sometimes being the first person with a particular background means being the only one, which can turn out to be rather stressful experience. 

And each has a matching coping strategy

However, it is possible to distinguish three types of burnout, closely linked to each of these signs. Each of the types has associated coping strategies. 

Inspired by the insurance industry, the LinkedIn team decided to calculate “job survival curve” to understand the odds of an employee staying with the company. They analysed 32 million profiles and found out that three factors are strongly linked to better retention.

With 602,000 workers suffering from work-related stress, depression or anxiety, 12.8 million working days are lost due to these problems.

The Health and Safety Executive, the UK governmental body that seeks to reduce work-related injury and ill-health, names workload, in particular tight deadlines, a lack of managerial support, organisational changes at work, violence and role uncertainty (lack of clarity about job/uncertain what meant to do) among the main reasons behind burnout.

Numerous surveys and studies confirm that occupational pressures and fears are far and away the leading source of stress for American adults

Over the years, the American Institute of Stress has gathered statistics on workplace stress that makes for depressing reading: over 80% of workers feel stress on the job, 19% or almost one in five respondents had quit a previous position because of job stress and nearly one in four have been driven to tears because of workplace stress. Almost half of respondents named workload as the main culprit of stress, which goes in line with the trend of  Americans to work longer and harder.
