Reduce pressure on employees

The most frequent reason for burnout is excess pressure on employees. Do not overload workers, do not glorify workaholism and offer employees the opportunity to combine effectively their work and personal life.

Give decision making powers to employees

Burnout is often rooted in frustration and feelings of inferiority. Let your employees know you value their opinion and allow them sufficient decision-making and executive powers so that they do not feel like robots without their own powers of thinking.

Appreciate your staff

Valuing employees is important. Not only financially, but also just verbally or non-financially. It is necessary simply to appreciate publicly good work and effort.

Support the community

People work better and cope more easily with stress if they feel part of one team. Support community feelings in your company through various informal events, team-building and other bonding activities.

Set up a culture of justice

Nobody at your company should feel unwanted. Remove any tendency to discriminate against individuals, groups or members of a certain gender.
