Ep#193 State of Burnout 2025
Burnout hasn’t gone away — it’s just changed shape.Hybrid work blurred boundaries so badly that people are “always on.”AI was supposed to reduce workload, but now professionals feel like they’re running to keep up with the machine.Layoffs and cost-cutting mean “do the job of two people” is the new normal.The numbers are brutal:66% of employees say they’re burnt out.85% are experiencing physical symptoms.Burnout is costing businesses over half a trillion dollars a year.But here’s the twist: burnout isn’t just depletion. It’s transformation.It’s life tapping you on the shoulder saying: this way isn’t working anymore.What it looks like right now, who it’s hitting hardest, and how you can take back your energy, joy, and leadership this year.Refs:https://www.talentlms.com/research/quiet-cracking-workplace-surveyhttps://www.aihs.org.au/common/Uploaded%20files/Learning-and-Events/Webinar%20Presentation/2025/The%20State%20of%20Workplace%20Burnout%20%20Webinar%20Slides.pdfhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/lisabodell/2025/06/16/feed-the-right-wolf-how-leaders-are-fighting-burnout-in-2025/https://www.ajg.com/au/news-and-insights/2025-workforce-trends-report-workplace-wellbeing-index/https://mentalhealth-uk.org/burnout/Send us a text----------------------------------- Burnout Resources:Get 1-on-1 burnout recovery coaching at https:/mini.dexrandall.comFor even more TIPS see FACEBOOK: @coachdexrandallINSTAGRAM: @coachdexrandallLINKEDIN: @coachdexrandallX: @coachdexrandallSee https://linktr.ee/coachdexrandall for all links
