1 Recognize Signs

The first step in addressing burnout is to recognize the signs within yourself. These may include a lack of enthusiasm for work, a feeling of cynicism towards customers, or a general sense of ineffectiveness on the job. It's important to take stock of these feelings and understand how they're affecting your work and well-being. Acknowledging these symptoms is the foundation for a constructive conversation with your supervisor about finding solutions to mitigate burnout.

I noticed that I had been avoiding phone calls, rescheduling appts, and feeling overwhelmed and realized I had burnout. I met withy my supervisor who has an open door policy and she helped me come up with some things to try to decrease these negative feelings. I instituted them and things got better.

2 Prepare Evidence

Before approaching your supervisor, prepare specific examples that illustrate how burnout is impacting your performance. This could include instances of decreased productivity, errors in customer interactions, or times when you felt too overwhelmed to engage effectively. Having concrete evidence will help your supervisor understand the severity of the issue and that it's not just a fleeting feeling but a significant obstacle to your work efficiency.

3 Schedule Meeting

Once you've recognized the signs of burnout and gathered your evidence, the next step is to schedule a meeting with your supervisor. Choose a time when neither of you is rushed or preoccupied with pressing tasks. This demonstrates that you're serious about the discussion and ensures that you'll have your supervisor's full attention. A calm, private setting is ideal for an open and honest conversation about your concerns.

My previous supervisor had an open door policy but I still made a appt to meet with her so we wouldn't be disturbed. As I entered her office, she closed the door and this prevented others from interrupting us.

4 Communicate Clearly

During the meeting, communicate your concerns clearly and calmly. Use the evidence you've prepared to explain how burnout is affecting your work. Be honest about your feelings but also be professional—avoid placing blame or getting overly emotional. Instead, focus on describing your experience and the impact it's having on your ability to provide quality customer service. Clear communication is key to ensuring your supervisor understands your perspective.

5 Propose Solutions

Don't just present the problem; be proactive by proposing potential solutions. This could involve adjusting your workload, incorporating regular breaks, or requesting additional training or support. By coming to the table with ideas, you show initiative and a desire to improve the situation. It also helps guide the conversation towards a constructive outcome, rather than leaving your supervisor to solve the problem alone.

6 Follow Up

After your meeting, it's important to follow up on the conversation. This could mean setting another meeting to review progress or sending a brief email summarizing the discussion and next steps. Following up shows that you are committed to resolving the issue and maintaining open lines of communication. It also keeps the topic of burnout and your well-being at the forefront of your supervisor's mind.
