How to cope with workplace burnout
Workplace burnout is affecting two-thirds of full-time workers in the U.S., with 80% reporting job-related mental health harm and 40% quitting jobs due to burnout. Unlike stress, burnout involves emotional exhaustion and disengagement, and 70% of people would reject higher-paying jobs without mental health benefits. Lori Edelson, a licensed therapist and owner of the Birmingham Maple Clinic in Troy, discusses coping strategies.
