REPETITIVE TASKS AND LACK OF APPRECIATION

The biggest cause of burnout among survey participants stands out as the monotony of the work. While 33 percent of participants stated that they feel like they are doing the same things every day, 23 percent expressed that their salaries have not changed despite increasing expectations and that their work is not sufficiently appreciated.

STRESS AND COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS IN THE WORKPLACE

Stress among employees (47 percent) and a lack of flexible working opportunities (40 percent) are seen as the biggest factors threatening a positive culture in the workplace.

Negativity (32 percent) and widespread burnout (31 percent) are also among the significant problems.

According to isolved data, 79 percent of employees stated that they have experienced burnout within the last year.

This situation has led to only 36 percent of employees fulfilling their mandatory duties and not putting in extra effort.
