Health & wellbeing | Top tips to prevent burnout

In May last year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) officially added burnout to its International Classification of Diseases (ICD), for those workers who felt exhausted and mentally drained due to their pressing workloads.

With this in mind, Top Employers Institute has shared its HR Trends Report 2020, which highlights the importance of focussing on mental wellbeing in the workplace.

The study points out how issues such as burnout, bullying and personality clashes can cause psychological damage to individuals and teams, which can also have a lasting impact on businesses if left unmanaged. 

Therefore, putting in place wellbeing initiatives can offer support to workers, while also helping to tackle any of the root causes within an organisation.
