How The Cost Of Grief And Employee Burnout Go Unnoticed

One of the things I love about our Respect For People webinar series is that the topics become so engaging that the participants are willing to chime in and share their thoughts and experiences.

This clip serves as an example.

Here we discuss how employee burnout is a form of grief in the workplace, as evidenced by the symptoms of grief and burnout chart in the clip.

Employee burnout is the symptom of an underlying change to an employee’s work-life.

Typically the result of feeling overworked and underappreciated, coupled with the feeling the situation is irreversible.

The employee experiences burnout when these feelings become pervasive, permanent, and personal.

Pervasive meaning the employee thinks about these feelings in every aspect of their life, not just while at work.

Permanent meaning the employee feels the situation is irreversible.

Personal meaning the employee feels no one cares about what they are experiencing.

These are precisely how grief impacts an individual.

Mark DeLuzio provides a great analogy about how grief and burnout get embedded in an organization’s culture and easily go unnoticed and undetected.
