# Burnout

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

## When to use

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.

## Key facts

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

## What it diagnoses

- **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.
  - **Scale:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Clarification:** What helps you preserve your energy by the end of the workday?
- Even after resting, I often find it hard to recover my energy for work.
  - **Scale:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Clarification:** What helps you recover between work periods?
- Before starting work tasks, I often already feel a lack of energy.
  - **Scale:** Disagree — Agree
  - **Clarification:** What helps you start tasks with enough energy?

## What the report contains

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.
