Employee burnout is a negative factor that forces any organization to decreased productivity and fallen profits. A highly motivated, productive and energetic employee is a true asset that leads the organization to the growth and flourishing. Such an employee is ready to take on extra responsibilities and do more jobs. However, what makes energetic and eager employees to burn out, and so to become burnt out workers? There are some major signs each manager should take into consideration to prevent employee burnout. The signs are:
- Changed attitude and frequent lateness of an employee
- Increased stress reaction
- Changes in lunch and coffee breaks
- Lessened interaction with other employees
- More errors in jobs
- Fallen productivity
