75% of workers have experienced burnout (flexjobs) with 61% currently experiencing it (Career Builder). The remote nature of pandemic working could be a significant contributor. 75% of workers say they are more socially isolated since the pandemic started, with 57% feeling greater anxiety and 53% feeling more emotionally exhausted (Harvard Business Review).
61% of remote workers (compared to 53% of onsite workers) find it more difficult to unplug from work outside of normal work hours.
Gallop research shows that burned-out employees are 63% more likely to take sick days and 2.6 times more likely to be actively seeking different jobs. In fact, 40% of employees who quit their job attribute burnout as a leading reason for leaving (limeade).
