What are the root causes of Burnout and how corporate culture can affect individual wellbeing?

How can corporate redesign their culture with actions that are impactful, meaningful and somehow effortless.

While many managers think they understand burnout, the reality is the concept is not so simple, and solutions are often complicated. While employees can feel burnout due to several work-related reasons—too much stress, ineffective communication, unreasonable workloads—there are plenty of other reasons employees might feel bogged down. If team leaders want to combat burnout effectively, they need to identify the root cause and help their employees address it. Sometimes burnout can be traced back to a lack of support—formal or informal.

Sometimes employees feel like they don’t have the tools necessary to do their jobs well, which can often be remedied with better training. There’s also burnout related to a lack of significance and function—employees feel like their jobs don’t matter, or they don’t understand how what they do fits into the big picture.

In order to avoid all of this it is very important for managers to build good relations with the employees and further take into consideration their mental well-being as well.
