Is burnout the next global pandemic? 

Rates of burnout are on the rise. The State of Workplace Burnout 2023 Report found an increase in burnout rates from 29.6% in 2020 to 38.1% in 2022. 

We could be on track to lose more than half of our workforce due to absenteeism and turnover as a result of burnout. How do we stop it?

• Cait Donovan, Burnout Coach & Host of Fried: The Burnout Podcast

Facing bravely into a complex and emotional topic, we cover:

• What is burnout, really?
• The difference between burnout and a bad day
• If some people/roles are more susceptible than others
• Burnout and the ‘snowflake’ generation
• How to tell if you’re burnt out, with real-life examples.
