Effective Organisation directed Burnout Prevention Interventions

The World Health Organization (WHO, 2019) recognizes burnout as a serious occupational phenomenon that threatens both individual well-being and organizational performance. Initially associated with helping professions ( e.g. Doctors and social workers), burnout is now acknowledged as a pervasive issue across all sectors, including corporate and industrial settings. Its impact extends beyond personal distress, causing significant financial losses for organizations through decreased productivity, absenteeism, and high turnover. While individual strategies such as stress management or mindfulness offer temporary relief, they fail to address the systemic, underlying causes of burnout embedded within organizational structures—such as excessive workloads, role ambiguity, and lack of leadership support (Demerouti & Adaloudis, 2024; Bakker & Demerouti, 2017). Without targeted investigation into organizational-level solutions, burnout interventions will continue to fall short, addressing symptoms rather than root causes, and leaving organizations vulnerable to productivity losses, increased turnover, and further financial strain (Pijpker et al., 2020; McAlpine, 2021).
