Over half of people in the workforce are dealing with today’s problem.

Some people blame COVID, and others say it was a problem way before we all got on the roller coaster of 2020.

Some people say it’s not even a big deal and to just suck it up.

It’s now described by the World Health Organization as an occupational phenomenon. They say that “Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:

feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; andreduced professional efficacy.

Burn-out refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.”

Today my guest is Mary Barley, the Employee Wellbeing Coordinator for Leon County in Florida and the Executive Director of Working Well, a non-profit organization based in Tallahassee, FL that helps organizations design and deliver employee well being programs.
