Abstract

Burnout syndrome, also known as burned-out worker syndrome, is an occupational health problem that can affect anyone working in a company. It is characterized by a feeling of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and decreased work performance. Burnout syndrome can be caused by various factors, such as work overload, lack of recognition, lack of emotional support and lack of control over the tasks performed. In companies, Burnout syndrome can be a serious problem, as it can affect the physical and mental health of workers, as well as their productivity and efficiency at work. In addition, Burnout can generate high rates of labor turnover and absenteeism, which can be costly for the company in economic and human resources terms. Therefore, it is important for companies to implement Burnout syndrome prevention and management measures, such as promoting a healthy work environment, reducing workload, recognizing and rewarding good performance, promoting good communication and encouraging the active participation of workers in decision making.
