# Burnout

Helps understand whether employees have enough energy, recovery, and a sense that their work is useful.

## Key facts

- **Categories:** 3
- **Questions:** 12
- **Who to ask:** an employee of a team or organization
- **Topic:** Well-being and workload

## When to run it

You notice the team becoming irritable, making more mistakes on simple tasks, taking sick leave, and working without their usual spark. It seems like some are working at their absolute limit while others have distanced themselves from shared goals. This survey will help you spot burnout risks early, before valuable employees decide to leave.

## What it will show

- **Emotional exhaustion:** Lack of energy, recovery, and resilience to workload
- **Cynicism and detachment:** Defensive distance from work, people, goals, or the meaning of tasks
- **Reduced accomplishment:** Diminished sense of effectiveness, usefulness of contribution, and visible results

## Example questions

- By the end of my workdays, I often feel like I have almost no energy left.
  - **What it measures:** Check whether workload is perceived as a recurring lack of energy, rather than a one-off peak or ordinary tiredness after a single hard day.
  - **Scale endpoints:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Open-ended clarification:** What helps you preserve your energy by the end of the workday?
- My work tasks often seem to lack clear meaning.
  - **What it measures:** Understand whether the person retains a sense of meaning and value in their regular work tasks, or whether responses reveal a loss of connection to why this work is done.
  - **Scale endpoints:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Open-ended clarification:** What helps you see meaning or value in these tasks?
- I often find it hard to see a concrete result of my work efforts.
  - **What it measures:** Check whether the person sees a clear outcome of their work, or whether their contribution becomes invisible to them and poorly connected to results.
  - **Scale endpoints:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Open-ended clarification:** What helps you see a concrete result from your efforts?

## What's in the report

The report will show the risk level across three dimensions: how emotionally exhausted people are, whether they have become cynical and detached from work, and if they feel their efforts still bring results. You will see where the issue is workload, where it is recognition, and where it is a lack of recovery.
