Burnout may be one of the largest threats to employee engagement and retention — 95% of HR professionals surveyed for a study by Kronos Incorporated cited burnout as an obstacle to employee retention. Nearly half of respondents revealed that 20% to 50% of their turnover was burnout-related. For working parents, research has suggested 60% suffer from burnout as they juggle the responsibilities of work and home, striving to find some level of balance. In tech, almost 60% of one survey’s respondents reported they suffer from the work-related affliction. Yet another survey found that more than two-thirds of Americans work while they’re tired.
