Burnout | 50% admit working extra hours affects relationships

50% of employees have admitted that putting in extra hours at the office has impacted their personal relationships, new research has found.

According to a study conducted by Forest Holidays, more than three-quarters of parents (78%) confessed to putting in extra hours at work to stay ahead of the curve, and this has negatively impacted on their relationship with partners.

If employees are exposed to stressful working environments over prolonged periods of time then this could result in burnout.

Earlier this year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) officially classified ‘burnout’ as a syndrome which can stem from intense periods of stress that go unmanaged.
