Abstract

Burnout has emerged as a severe occupational phenomenon amongst an active working section of people who are subjected to prolonged work-related stress. Several types of research studies were done on this area from different dimensions to determine the causes and situations in which it occurs. Several of them suggest potential changes that employees and employers can use at their workplaces to achieve a sense of work-life balance and optimize their performance at the workplace. This bibliographic research reviews some eminent work done in the area in the year 2022. The topic and the study period are taken up owing to the opening up of all professions post the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that burnout occurs not just in working professionals but also in certain areas like academics and even among the jobless. Several preventive strategies exist and are discussed for use by support professionals such as human resources, psychologists, and others.
