Burnout | Shocking number of US workers are struggling with wellbeing

According to the latest insight from the Future Forum, physical and mental wellbeing among the US workforce is in crisis.

Research from the group’s latest survey indicates that a shocking four in ten desk-based workers (or around 41%) are currently suffering from burnout, massively affecting both their health, and their ability to do their jobs.

This figure has risen sharply from May of 2021, when the previous survey data was captured. At this time, 39% concluded that they were burning out.

The comprehensive study was taken from a snapshot of over 10,000 full-time desk-based workers from November 16 to December 12. It also featured global data, which found that on average, around one per cent more workers were burning out abroad.
