Burnout syndrome represents a serious issue which negatively affects not only an employee’s work performance and engagement but also their overall physical and mental health. Someone affected by burnout gradually loses motivation for work, experiences a decline in efficiency, feels prolonged fatigue, and lacks any internal drive. Without timely intervention, the situation often results in the employee leaving their position, either voluntarily or at the employer’s request. Preventing burnout should therefore be one of the key priorities of every manager.
