Burn out
stress is a fact of working life, but extreme and unrelenting pressure can lead to a debilitating condition we call burnout.
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolongedwork stressis caused. Extremely lofty goals, strong commitment to work, and a heightened sense of duty put one at risk of burnout. When working conditions are stifling, goals are not met, and neither the employee nor the work community has sufficient skills or resources to resolve problems and conflicts, there is a risk of burnout.
Stress and burnout are increasing “dramatically” in Swiss workplaces. Workers in Switzerland are suffering from more stress and burnout than ever before. The burnout rate in the Swiss workplace has increased dramatically since 2012, with work stoppages increasing by 50%.The government in Switzerland estimates the costsof stress and burnout to around 10 billion Swiss francs a year. In the report in theSwiss newspaper NZZ on Sundaywas published, it says that burnout is not only increasing, but that individual symptoms last longer.
In 2019 hasthe World Health Organization (WHO)included burnout as an "occupational syndrome" in their 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). The WHO made it clear that it does not classify burnout as a disease, but as a reason people may contact health services other than diseases or medical conditions.
