It is difficult to lead others well if I'm not satisfied with myself.
I know I need to invest in myself but carving out the time can be challenging.
I can achieve amazing things when I look and feel my best.
I want to inspire and be inspired by others.
I know I will make a greater impact with a healthier approach to leadership.

“Burnout is just a case of misalignment.” - Heidi Hope
Introduction:
Employee burnout is a major issue in today's business world. It is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that is caused by prolonged and excessive stress. Burnout can lead to absenteeism, reduced work performance, decreased job satisfaction, and increased healthcare costs.
Since 2020, funding and effectiveness of wellness programs are on the rise. Yet, at least 76% of employees are experiencing workplace burnout, according to Gallup's Perspective on Employee Burnout: Causes and Cures.
Burnout can sneak up on you if you are unaware of how stress is impacting your health. You are going through the daily grind and experiencing life. You blame all of the circumstances around you for how you feel. Your boss is setting unrealistic goals for you. The company just laid off more people and you think you may be next. You don't have enough time to exercise or eat right. You don't have the money. The list goes on.
But burnout is avoidable if you can recognize where you are in the five stages and take the necessary steps to properly manage yourself. Remember, leaving a company does not solve burnout. It just kicks the can down the road.
In Episode 2 of Investing in Vitality podcast, Shannon Vivar, Executive Director of the VitalityXchange Collective shares her personal experience with burnout in the workplace. It spanned a period of almost 10 years from pregnancy and promotion to changing companies and moving to the midwest. She acknowledges that there are many things that can add up over time to affect your health and wellbeing.
“Looking back at the journey now... You know, with the proverbial 2020 hindsight. I gambled with my Vitality at the Corporate High Roller Card Table.” - Shannon Vivar
While she had sought some support with an executive coach, she mostly tried to manage stress by herself. Her experience is one of the main reasons she created VitalityXchange Collective and is excited about the new programming, experiences and retreats that we are bringing to the marketplace. She knows that a community like this would have helped her manage her stress 100x better.
So, the real question is 'How does your lifestyle stack up against these five stages of burnout?' Check out our quick summary of the five stages of burnout, as portrayed in Episode 2 of Investing in Vitality podcast.
Employees start their job full of energy and enthusiasm. They are excited about the new opportunity and possibilities that come with the job. However, this phase can quickly vanish if the company does not provide the necessary resources and support. Company onboarding, training programs, and a welcoming work environment help employees feel confident and equipped to handle their tasks successfully.
As employees adjust to their new job, their workload and responsibilities increase. This stage is where they start to feel stress and anxiety because of unrealistic expectations, a lack of control in their work, or unsupportive colleagues or managers. Companies can combat this stage by ensuring employees have a constructive work environment that fosters feedback, open communication and a flexible work schedule. This allows employees to feel heard and empowered by making decisions and receiving positive feedback.
In this phase, employees feel overwhelmed, exhausted and emotionally drained. They may experience physical symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, and fatigue. Employees can avoid this stage by tapping into company benefits especially if companies offer mental health benefits such as counseling, employee assistance programs (EAPs), and health insurance. These resources provide a safe space for employees to confide in someone who can help them alleviate stressors.
This stage is where employees experience physical and mental exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment. They may feel like their work is futile, and it offers no sense of accomplishment. Companies can combat this stage by providing their employees with transformative work experiences, such as mentorship programs and career development opportunities. Good employee experience requires not only leadership buy-in and passive support, but leaders who actively lead by example.
The final stage is where an employee has experienced all the previous stages, and the effects of burnout become ingrained in their work. It usually takes a long time to get out of this stage, and sometimes an employee may never recover. The only way to avoid this stage is by proactively ensuring employees have time off to recharge and relax, including adequate vacation time away from their professional life.
Monitoring for burnout should be a top priority of everyone. Where are you on the Richter Scale?
