Workplace burnout, once defined by World Health Organization (WHO)<\/a> as \u201ca state of vital exhaustion\u201d, is now defined as \u201cA syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.\u201d<\/h4>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

We all know that a healthy level of stress is necessary to achieve optimal productivity at work. However, anything more than the healthy range is one step closer to burnout. With technological advances and workplace mobility, it seems tougher than ever to separate work from life. Being connected everywhere we go, it\u2019s always so tempting to reply that email or pick up that call even after work hours. As motivated and passionate one can be, there\u2019s always this fine line that one may cross beyond and become burnout.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

Extreme fatigue<\/h4>\n

It may be due to insomnia whereby an individual is under excessive stress that falling asleep is difficult and this lasts for a while. On the other hand, one might still be sleeping regularly but yet not feeling energized. Many of times, this results in employees falling sick more often and potential increase in absenteeism.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Lack of interest<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This is when you don\u2019t feel as enthusiastic and excited about your work as before. You feel empty going to work and nothing seems to give you that sense of fulfillment you once had. Slowly, you become indifferent towards your work environment and worse still, everything else.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Poorer performance<\/h4>\n

This may or may not be definite signs of burnout, but poorer performance definitely give stress. Be it having a burnout and therefore poorer performance or vice versa, it isn\u2019t a good outcome.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
