Burnout and Culture are often confused within organisations, but they are distinct experiences.
Culture is a second person/collective/shared understanding within a group.
Burnout (stress) is first person/internal/thought or feeling.
Can an organisation have a great culture and still have staff experiencing burnout? Yes.
Can an organisation have a poor culture and have no staff experiencing burnout? Yes.
Burnout is caused by the mental stress an individual is experiencing - the key word being individual. No two people will do this exactly the same. The other key word is mental, meaning stress is a mental strategy that is being run internally in response to something happening outside of us.
There are many suggestions to "fix" burnout by taking breaks or holidays. Some experts say take shorter holidays but more of them.
Shouldn't we be individually addressing the way we process the world around us and understand how we are doing stress. What the habituated thinking styles are that cause us to react or be triggered to external events, instead of coming back from holiday's and jumping straight back into the same cycle only to keep repeating?
Our precious leave should be used for connection, reunions and new experiences, not as breaks from the grind or to simply come up for air.
