Burnout occurs when the stress or pressure from our work and personal life reaches a certain point, it either becomes too intense or lasts for too long.
According to Westfield Health, close to half (46%) of UK workers are close to burnout.
Burnout is hard to spot, but common symptoms include exhaustion, lack of sociability, irritability, and a decline in mental and physical health.
If you are burned out, you could be struggling to manage your work or personal responsibilities, and coping mechanisms only help you for so long.
These 10 x employee burnout survey questions will help you identify patterns of burnout within your team early.
According to Westfield Health, close to half (46%) of UK workers are close to burnout. 
It is the responsibility of an empathic employer to support and uncover if employees are struggling, so you can prevent burnout from occurring, or getting worse within your teams.
After all, employee burnout usually isn’t something that just goes away on its own. If it’s left to develop, employees suffering from burnout can develop more serious physical and physiological illnesses such as depression, anxiety and hypertension.
To combat this growing issue, organisations large and small are turning to employee burnout surveys as their solution.
Burnout surveys give you all you need to know about the state of your organisation, and your employees in relation to burnout.
When you know if/ how employees need support, it’s easier to make positive workplace changes to help them.
Preventative burnout questionnaires also work wonders in helping to stop employees from developing full-fledged burnout, as you’ll be more likely to catch any issues early than organisations without regular employee feedback.
