"It was only when Bryan Robinson and I were forced by too many burnout episodes that I started to see work as an irreplaceable part of my life. my life, but not all my life.And it was only then that I started to focus on what I could do in a unique way instead of trying to do everything – thus starting to be much more effective as a worker. "-Gloria Steinem, activist
Some of the greatest personalities among us, such as Gloria Steinem, were present. Singer / songwriter Alanis Morissette, who has spoken publicly about her fight against work addiction and burnout. Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO of The Huffington Post and Thrive Global, also has the t-shirt. Last week, in her regular column, she mentioned the time she had collapsed following sleep deprivation and exhaustion and had fractured her clavicle.
I've been there too. Emotionally exhausted and slumped in my seat, all I could do when the flight attendant asked me if I needed anything was the hand away from him. I had lost so much weight that I looked like a refugee from Dachau. During takeoff, I did not care about the crash of the plane. Nothing mattered. I was on the way to sunny Jamaica in hopes of escaping the pain badociated with continued work and burnout that would ensue.
The Burnout Club
Welcome to the club of burnout. This is not a club you want to join, but a club whose membership is alarming. A recent Gallup study of nearly 7,500 full-time employees found that 23% said they felt exhausted at work very often or always, while 44% said they sometimes felt exhausted. Nobody is immune to burnout. It can affect overworked and underrated executives, nurses or clergy guarding day and night, or ordinary employees seeking to achieve peaks. His not to be ashamed if you are inducted. It's a subject to know and discuss openly so you know the signs and can prevent them.
What is burnout and what can companies do?
In 1974, Herbert Freudenberger invented the buzzword Burnout. Since then, the term has not been recognized as a legitimate psychological or psychiatric disorder, nor as an official disease. He was dropped in the office until last week, when the World Health Organization (WHO) reached a milestone, officially clbadifying it as a medical diagnosis, including the state of the International Clbadification of Diseases, the manual which guides medical service providers in the diagnosis. diseases. Burnout appears in the manual section on problems related to employment or unemployment. It describes burnout as "a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic stress at work that has not been successfully managed." Three symptoms can help you recognize it: "a feeling of exhaustion or exhaustion of energy; heightened mental distance from his work, or feelings of negativity or cynicism related to his work; and reduced professional efficiency. Burnout refers specifically to the phenomena of the work context and should not be used to describe experiences in other areas of life. "
Burnout: the invisible disease
Now that burnout is officially a chronic crisis in the workplace, companies will take the disease more seriously. But it is important for employees and employers to know the posters and to express themselves when necessary. It is helpful to understand that burnout is not the same thing as stress and that you can not fix it by taking a long vacation, slowing down or working fewer hours. Stress is one thing. burnout is a totally different state of mind. Under stress, you still have trouble coping with the pressures. But once burnout is over, you run out of gas and you have lost all hope of overcoming your obstacles. When you suffer from burnout, it's more than just fatigue. You have a deep sense of disillusionment and hope that your efforts have been in vain. Life loses its meaning and small tasks look like a hike on Mount Everest. Your interests and motivation are drying up and you are not respecting even the smallest obligations. Here are all the signs:
Disillusionment / loss of meaning
Mental and physical fatigue and exhaustion
Mood, impatience and mood
Loss of motivation and decrease of interest in commitments
Inability to meet one's obligations
Reduced immunity against illness
Emotional detachment from previous commitments
Feel the efforts are unappreciated
Withdrawal of colleagues and social situations
Desperate perspective, helpless and depressed
Absenteeism and inefficiency at work
Sleep deprivation
Misty thinking and difficulty concentrating
Despite these symptoms, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) still has not clbadified burnout as an official disorder in its fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) – the standard clbadification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals in the United States. But now that the WHO has recognized it, the APA will do the same. In the meantime, it is important that organizations and employers do not wait for them to take action. Statistics show that more than 60% of absenteeism at work is attributed to psychological stress and stress related burnout. And according to a poll conducted in 2018, 40% of the 2,000 employees said they would consider quitting because of burnout. Experts estimate that burnout results in an annual loss of $ 150 billion to $ 350 billion for US companies. This is a frightening statistic for any manager, especially in a tight job market, if your employees can not stand out and get out of desperation, get out of sickness or stop – in order to survive Professional exhaustion.
Arianna Huffington said best in her final weekly talk on Thrive Global, May 30: "Now, with burnout, companies have a new opportunity to engage, in the interest of their staff and for health of their results. Focusing on the actual experience of people at work is no longer a pleasure, it is a must for anyone who wants to succeed in the long run. To find the cure for the "disease of civilization" will require a commitment to tackle the root causes of burnout. "
