Burnout is today a very serious issue at several companies. Multiple reasons have been identified for the cause. The most obvious of them is excess workload. Another is the limited control that employees have over their own schedules or work processes. Companies need to thoroughly revamp their talent management systems, so that employees feel empowered enough. This will also have a positive impact on the reward and incentive structures. A sense of community needs to be fostered at organizations, so that the employees get aligned to the ultimate team goals. They need to feel a sense of mission behind their daily tasks. Employees also need to feel that the company policies and their execution is done in fairness. Burnout also takes place when there is a mismatch between the values believed in by the employees, with the corporate strategy of the firm. A multi- level solution is needed to tide over this complex issue.
