Report: 69% of workers say their risk of burnout is moderate to high

Employers know many employees are on the verge of burnout—but a Care.com report indicates that they don’t recognize just how widespread the issue is.

Many companies are acutely aware that a notable portion of their workers are struggling with burnout. The data makes that much clear: A Mercer report from last year found that 82% of workers said they were at risk of burnout. In another study conducted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness and Ipsos, over half of the workers surveyed said they had experienced burnout because of their job in 2023.
