The dramatic shift to remote work last spring had employees and employers alike scrambling. Now that we’ve all settled in for the most part, though, the lasting effects of this change are being felt—specifically as it relates to burnout. There are myriad reasons for this, and individuals have responded to the change differently. Some took to it with ease, others are feeling stressed out and isolated. If you find yourself in the latter camp, though, there are a few things you can do. First, it’s important to find community beyond work. One of the biggest contributing factors to burnout at work is loneliness. Explore safe ways to keep the loneliness at bay outside of work circles. Additionally, it always helps to realign goals. Take some time to consider the role your job plays in your life, what success means to you, and if the two are currently matching up. Burnout can also occur when you feel like you're just spinning your wheels, so check in with yourself. Make sure you’re still on track to reach your goals.
