One way to stop burnout

7 Organizational Steps to avoid burnout

❓As a leader, can you help coworkers avoid burnout?

7️⃣ These seven steps will help you decrease the level of burnout your team experiences.

1️⃣ Number 1: Provide a way opt-out

😞If a coworker violates their own conscience at work, they experience moral injury. This can lead to burnout symptoms, including emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and feeling like they can't make an impact at work.

🔥Once they are burned out, it's hard to get UN-burned out. So, one way we can avoid or decrease burnout is to clearly communicate to our team: "If you have a moral objection to this course of action, you can opt-out."

⛔Of course, you still have to get the job done. But finding a way to do it without violating anyone's values will avoid disengagement and turnover.

❓Does your leader let you opt-out?
