Burnout at work is a widespread issue. 😰A recent survey of 10,000 workers showed that 70% had experienced work burnout in the past year. 🗓️

By relying on a highly salient image to represent job burnout, measure allows employees to quickly represent their feelings. 😶 It features 8 matchsticks 🔥 in a row, each more charred than the last. The scale is called the Muir Matches Measure created by Prof. Cindy P. Muir (Zapata). Organizations are using it to find out how their workers are feeling. 🤔 Employees point to which match best represents how they’re feeling. Other tools exist to assess burnout at work, however, it is an easy and effective tool to identify the seriousness of the situation without going to extensive surveys. ✅

One thing is identifying the burnout, the other is dealing with it.

What greatly benefits employees and companies is:
- Coaching and mentoring employees to deal with burnout, stress, conflict or difficult situations and projects; 🗣️
- Provide insights and recommendations to the company on what areas to improve, where focus/trainings/resources should be placed to increase satisfaction/loyalty 📈 of the employees and in turn productivity and efficiency.

By providing coaching sessions to employees, I have a really good insight on how the company operates, which strategies selected work and which don’t. Having extensive business and operations experience, I can quickly identify pain areas and recommend ways of improvement. For case studies and more information on coaching, please reach out.
