We deal with burnout when professional work ceases to give satisfaction, employee stops to grow professionally, is overworked and dissatisfied with the performed activities that once gave him pleasure . This is always the effect of chronic stress at work, which was not properly alleviated.
Symptoms of burnout:
- Lack of job satisfaction.
- Overwork and constant tiredness.
- Avoiding contact with supervisors and colleagues.
- Low self-esteem.
- Problems with sleeping.
- Mood swings and negative emotions.
- Cynicism and a sense of meaninglessness.
- Health problems and increased propensity to use drugs.
Those who are sensitive, lonely and passive, as well as workaholics who identify themselves with their work are especially vulnerable to the burnout.
Professions particularly at risk of professional burnout syndrome include professionals such as psychologists, physicians, tradesmen, teachers or nurses.
