Do you want to prevent burnout in your organization?
Feel the pressure rising within your team? You're not alone. As many as 20.7% of Dutch employees struggle with burnout complaints. This is a wake-up call for employers to take action. How can you prevent burnout and promote vitality within your organization? Read on and discover how you can bring about positive change with new faces, such as experts in employee vitality.
Why burnout needs to be taken seriously
Burnout is no longer rare, but a structural problem you can't ignore. In 2025, an estimated 1.7 million people will experience burnout. Acting preventively is crucial. Burnout leads to long-term absence and high costs. It also increases the workload for the rest of your team.
Who is most at risk?
The figures speak for themselves: women report complaints more often than men, and young employees between 25 and 34 are the most vulnerable. Higher-educated people are also at greater risk. These patterns have been visible for years, and the percentage keeps rising.
Women: 23.5% versus men: 18.0%
Ages 25-34: 28.2%
Higher educated: 23.1% versus lower educated: 18.3%
The impact of burnout on your organization
Burnout doesn't just affect the health of your employees, but your organization as well. Absence means lost productivity, and the costs add up quickly. A reactive approach isn't enough. Prevention needs to be central to your HR policy.
Practical steps to prevent burnout
