🎄 How Holiday Stress and Workplace Burnout Threaten Christmas Cheer 🎄
The holiday season is often painted as a time for joy and connection, but for many, it’s anything but restful. This article from CEO Today highlights a troubling paradox: instead of recharging, employees often find themselves overwhelmed by deadlines, financial pressures, and an "always-on" work culture.
Key insights include:
➡️ 73% of UK workers worry about work disrupting their festive plans.
➡️ Over a quarter fear they'll need to work over the holidays.
➡️ Certain sectors, like IT and retail, feel the strain even more intensely.
The result? Burnout and stress that spill into the new year, affecting not just individual well-being but also workplace morale and productivity.
This article from CEO Magazine looks at how leaders, can turn this around.
Let’s use this festive season to build a culture where employees feel valued, not drained. After all, a rested team is a resilient team!
What steps are you taking to support your workforce during the holidays?
