Meeting the Challenge of Burnout
summary
Burnout is an occupational phenomenon from chronic workplace stressors, not a personal illness, and WHO’s 2019 review of 40 years of research frames it as a system problem. Research defines three core dimensions — exhaustion cynicism inefficacy — and identifies six areas of mismatch (workload, control, reward, community, fairness, values). Organizations reduce burnout by fixing the job through routine organizational checkups, shared solutions, and small, low‑cost, customizable changes; Gallup finds only ~20% engagement worldwide.
