Work Burnout Syndrome
The pressures of modern work environments, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to an increase in reported work burnout syndrome. 79% of UK employees report experiencing burnout, with 35% experiencing high levels of burnout in 2024. Employers are now more aware of burnout, but managing its impact remains a challenge. However, employers are legally obliged to support employees with work burnout syndrome.
Occupational Burnout Syndrome
Occupational burnout syndrome results from chronic workplace stress that is not successfully managed. It is characterised by emotional exhaustion, detachment and a decrease in professional effectiveness.
Employees experiencing burnout may struggle with concentration, motivation, and job performance. Employers are legally bound to take reasonable steps to prevent and reduce workplace stressors, ensuring employees are not exposed to conditions that lead to burnout.
If you believe your employer has neglected to address your occupational burnout syndrome, you may have legal grounds to seek compensation or make a claim. Contact us here at DPH Legal for expert advice on how to navigate your rights.
