MANAGER TOOLKIT:
Battling Burnout
Recent headlines have been swirling around quiet quitting, with employees increasingly pushing back on added responsibilities and seeking greater work-life balance. While there are many contributing factors to this trend, one of the biggest culprits is burnout.
In fact, 8 in 10 employees who admit to quiet quitting report that they are burned out.
Mitigating undue pressure and fatigue is vital to creating a healthy environment where people are engaged and productive. To reinvigorate your own energy or support your team members as they navigate workplace stress, we invite you to explore our Manager Toolkit.
The resources can be used with or without an Emergenetics Profile. While understanding the specific ways your employees prefer to think and behave will allow you to personalize your approach and amplify your effectiveness as a manager, we are confident these tools will give any user new ideas to improve wellbeing.
