More than four in 10 (42 per cent) Canadian professionals reported feeling burnt out at work, according to a recent poll by HR consulting firm Robert Half.
“The most reported contribution to burnout among respondents was heavy workloads due to understaffed teams, at 52 per cent. Forty-two per cent felt a lack of communication and managerial support contributed most to their burnout, while 39 per cent pinned it on missing tools/resources required to perform properly at work,” reports Global News.
Katharine Coons, the national associate director of workplace mental health with the Canadian Mental Health Association, highlighted the impact of the “always-on culture.”
She noted that the blurred lines between work and personal life — exacerbated by remote work — contribute significantly to employee exhaustion. Coons emphasized the need for employers to establish clear boundaries and support systems to help mitigate burnout.
The survey underscores the importance of organizational changes to address these systemic issues, particularly for younger workers who are feeling the brunt of the burnout epidemic.
