Workplace burnout has now been understood to be a key deterrent to a healthy lifestyle. A lot of individuals have gone through several remedies to check this fallout. However, beyond these ‘band- aid’ solutions, it needs to be understood that burnout is more an organizational failure, one that an individual is unlikely to be able to properly resolve. The classification of the term too has been complex, with even the WHO (World Health Organization) being unable to do much about it. There are also several hidden financial and emotional upheavals associated with this burnout. A study conducted by the marketing research firm Gallup, uncovered five major reasons that lead to such burnout. One of them is an unfair treatment at work, while another is excess workload. The third is ambiguity regarding work role, with a fourth being on poor communication or support system emanating from the senior position. Time pressure could be yet another of those issues. Frederick Herzberg’s Motivation- Hygiene Theory can be well applied to this situation.
