Is burnout the next global pandemic? 

Rates of burnout are on the rise. The State of Workplace Burnout 2023 Report found an increase in burnout rates from 29.6% in 2020 to 38.1% in 2022. 

We could be on track to lose more than half of our workforce due to absenteeism and turnover as a result of burnout. How do we stop it?

In this episode, we speak to a panel of expert guests, including:

  • Cait Donovan, Burnout Coach & Host of Fried: The Burnout Podcast
  • William Hasek, PhD, Board Certified Clinical Psychologist 
  • Sally Clarke, Burnout and Well-being Researcher, Expert and Best-Selling Author


Facing bravely into a complex and emotional topic, we cover:

  • What is burnout, really?
  • The difference between burnout and a bad day
  • If some people/roles are more susceptible than others
  • Burnout and the ‘snowflake’ generation
  • How to tell if you’re burnt out, with real-life examples.


Stay tuned for Part 2 and more from our expert guests about how burnout will affect our businesses if we don’t act now.
