Here's how you can detect and resolve burnout in your operating systems team.
Burnout can silently creep into your operating systems team, impacting productivity, morale, and the quality of work. Recognizing the signs early on is crucial. This can manifest as a general lack of enthusiasm, increased mistakes in code or system management, or a noticeable drop in collaboration. Your team might also exhibit signs of fatigue or express feelings of being overwhelmed. As a manager, you should maintain open communication lines and encourage your team to voice their concerns. Regular check-ins can help you gauge the team's pulse and preemptively address issues before they escalate into full-blown burnout.
