Avoid burn-out by building and nurturing resilience. 🔥🌳

The Burn-out Fix, by Jacinta M. Jiménez, highlights key 🔑 steps to developing protective factors to avoid burn-out. The first is recognizing the signs (exhaustion, cynicism, inefficacy). The second is to respond by identifying person-job mismatches.

🧐6 person – job mismatches that lead to burn-out

📚Work overload – job demands exceed human limits. Too much in too little time with too few resources.

🧭Control – too little control over work due to rigid policies, micromanagement, or chaotic job conditions.

🏆Reward – a lack of appropriate rewards for the work people do

🚷Breakdown in community – a low sense of positive connection with others in the workplace.

💔Values conflict – the requirements of the job conflict with one’s personal principles and values.

⚖️Absence of fairness – a lack of a system of justice and fair procedures.

When you are able to identify which mismatch is causing you to feel exhausted, cynical or inefficient, you can take steps to move out of the negativity and into a more positive space.
