In our always-on world, burnout has long been a threat. But in 2020 burnout became rampant, seemingly overnight. And now, well into 2021, acute stress has become chronic stress with few signs of abating.

According to Jennifer Moss in her recent HBR article “Beyond Burned Out,” today’s level of burnout is the result of an existing problem made exponentially worse. But in knowing the organizational signals of stress, we can course correct for the future. 

On April 14, in a live, interactive HBR webinar, Moss will describe the severity of the burnout crisis and will share specific actions organizations can take to assist their employees. In addition, Moss will discuss:

• The real causes of burnout and why burnout has gotten so bad

• The results of her research that gathered feedback from more than 1,500 respondents in 46 countries, in various sectors, roles, and seniority levels, in the fall of 2020

• What employers have done to contribute to burnout

• How companies can help—including providing employees a sense of purpose, ensuring a manageable workload, and making sure employees have an empathetic manager and can discuss their mental health at work

Burnout is real and it is severe. Combatting burnout may feel like an overwhelming and herculean task—but it is never too late to fix it. To learn more about what leaders and organizations can do, join Jennifer Moss and HBR on April 14.
