Hidden Hazards: Unique Burnout Risks in Tech
summary
Tech teams show big numbers: 62% considering quitting and surveys report 56% feel exhausted while 54% of cyber pros report mental‑health harm. The WHO and ISO standards map 11 psychosocial hazards specific to tech—workload, change fatigue, impostor feelings, security threat stress—and recommend concrete mitigations: a resilience routine (the YMCA steps), 15 minutes self‑reflection, mindfulness, self‑compassion and acceptance. A burnout inventory (QR code) and practical tactics are offered so organizations can measure hazards and apply WHO/ISO guidance today.
