Employee retention strategies to avoid employee burnout

In the findings of Burnout Nation, a December 2020 online study of 1136 employed US adults, it was found that 57% of employees experience severe burnout, and that this was especially the case among millennial and female employees. With remote and hybrid work entering the arena, personal responsibilities have skyrocketed while workplace productivity has dwindled. 

Leaders need to be able to connect and communicate with employees in order to address concerns. It is important that organizations adapt to a strategy that best suits their structure, while maintaining the balance between creativity and productivity.
