Today for our Inspirational Corner: 
Burnout is a widespread issue in South Africa, affecting one in three employees and costing the economy R235 billion annually.

Chronic stress, excessive work demands, and prolonged mental and physical exhaustion can lead to burnout, manifesting in fatigue, decreased productivity, and negative emotions.

Employers play a crucial role in addressing burnout by fostering an open culture and implementing support structures.

Individuals can take steps to manage burnout by talking openly about their struggles, prioritizing tasks, taking breaks, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and setting boundaries.

By addressing burnout, businesses can improve employee wellbeing, productivity, and resilience, ultimately benefiting both the individual and the organization.
