Employees with high burnout are less engaged and more likely to
job hunt, according to Quantum Workplace research.
OMAHA,
Neb., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 37% of
employees suffer from high levels of burnout, according to new
research by Quantum Workplace, a leading employee success platform
and the employee engagement partner for the nationally recognized
Best Places to Work Programs. This research highlights a critical
issue impacting engagement, performance, and workplace culture.
"Burnout goes beyond workplace stress. It's
severe physical and emotional exhaustion that can lead to
disengagement and reduced productivity if not managed
appropriately," Quantum Workplace Lead Researcher Shane McFeely
said.
The original research analyzed burnout rates by employee title,
industry, age group and tenure, as well as the impact of burnout
and how to best manage it.
"Burnout goes beyond workplace stress. It's severe physical and
emotional exhaustion that can lead to disengagement and reduced
productivity if not managed appropriately," Quantum Workplace Lead
Researcher Shane McFeely said. "Addressing burnout is essential for
engaging employees and motivating performance."
Key findings from the research include:
- 37% of employees have high burnout levels, despite a decline
since 2021.
- Employees with high burnout are 1.7X less engaged
- Employees with high burnout are 2.1X more likely to be
searching for other jobs.
- Managers and directors experience more burnout than executives
and individual contributors.
- Only 40% of employees say their organization has sufficient
staff to manage the workload they have.
"Managing burnout requires leaders to create a culture of
continuous listening, realistic and aligned goals, employee
recognition, as well as fair compensation and workload reviews,"
McFeely said. "Creating a culture that minimizes burnout is all
about showing employees that you value them."
Data in the report are generated from one of the largest
databases on employee experience in the U.S., including over
700,000 voices across more than 8,000 organizations.
