Managing burnout within your team is an overwhelming task.
But the first step is simple: measure their burnout risk.
Ask them these 5 questions:
1️⃣ I feel mentally exhausted at work
2️⃣ I feel physically exhausted at work
3️⃣ I am not enthusiastic about my work
4️⃣ I can't control my emotions at work
5️⃣ I can't concentrate at work
Get your team (and yourself) to answer these questions using a scale where: 1 = strongly disagree, and 7 = strongly agree.
The next step is to calculate the sum of their answers and assess their burnout risk:
5 - 14 = low burnout risk
15 - 25 = moderate burnout risk
26 - 35 = high burnout risk
💡Velbi Top Tip💡
Avoid calculating the average burnout risk for your entire team. This may lead you to believe that your team is doing better than they actually are.
Instead, make a note of how many of your team members fall into each classification:
3 members = low burnout risk.
2 members = moderate burnout risk.
1 = high burnout risk.
Interpretating your team's results in this way will help you support the individual needs of your team members, in turn making them feel heard and valued.
