fatigue and burnout for companies
Fatigue is a complex phenomenon with a fundamental impact on daily life. It affects the general well-being of employees, it disturbs cognitive capacity and creativity, and it can lead to a burnout wit an often slow recuperation process.
A correct response to a fatigue complaint is necessary, but not that easy. Fatigue interventions rarely have an immediate effect, which results in an early and wrongly change of strategy. Fatigue prevention is related to a conscious lifestyle consisting of a careful balance between activation, deactivation and recuperation. This recipe includes excellent sleep habits, careful stress management, exercise, supportive relationships and time for creativity.
