According to a recent study by the American Institute of Stress, over 80% of workers in the United States report feeling stressed at work, with almost half citing burnout as a significant problem. Burnout can lead to a range of physical and mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and chronic illnesses like heart disease. It can also have a significant impact on productivity and employee engagement, with burned-out workers experiencing lower job satisfaction and higher rates of absenteeism and turnover. Employers must take proactive steps to address burnout and support their employees' mental and physical health to promote a healthy and productive work environment.
