This guide was originally posted on LinkedIn, and it was so good that we wanted to share it further. In this thought-provoking piece, Bridget Jelley, Director of Glia – a workplace psychology consultancy based in New Zealand and the UK – shares her insights on burnout. With her background in workplace psychological health and safety, Bridget offers a unique perspective drawn from years of experience.
The guide is a tongue-in-cheek checklist for those unintentionally aiming for burnout, challenging you to take a fresh look at how you’re working.
Burnout isn’t an eruption; it’s a slow burn that leaves scars over time. In the ever-shifting landscape of work, where complex environments and relentless demands collide, the human mind struggles to keep pace. Each day, we’re asked to manage more than we once thought possible, but as the world evolves at breakneck speed, our ability to adapt doesn’t always follow.
Burnout is a quiet companion on this journey, creeping in so gradually that by the time we notice its presence, the damage is often done. It hides in plain sight, making it difficult to detect until it’s too late.
This booklet is here to illuminate the shadows where burnout thrives. It aims to help you recognise the signs before they deepen into something harder to heal. If you see yourself in these words, don’t wait—reach out. Professional help is the first step to reclaiming your well-being.
