Why Most Burnout Strategies Fail (And What Actually Works) In our last post, we talked about the?$5 million burnout problem. Many companies are?investing in wellbeing—but still seeing?sky-high turnover, disengagement, and stress-related absences. ???Here’s why most burnout prevention strategies fail: ? They focus on?individual fixes?(meditation apps, wellness stipends) instead of?systemic change. ? They treat burnout as a?lack of resilience?rather than a?workplace design issue. ? They assume employees can “self-care” their way out of burnout without leadership support. ??What actually works? ??Leadership training—Empower managers to create psychologically safe, high-trust teams. ??Sustainable workloads—Redefine success beyond “always-on” productivity. ??Recovery & resilience programs—Teach employees how to recharge and reconnect to purpose. At?YOL, we help organizations move from?reactive wellness initiatives?to?proactive culture change. In our next post:?The role of?leaders?in preventing burnout and building resilient teams. ??

???$5 million per year.?That’s the staggering cost of employee burnout for the average company, according to new research from Fast Company. Burnout isn’t just a “wellbeing” issue—it’s a business imperative. Lost productivity, high turnover, and disengagement are costing companies millions. And yet, despite increased investments in wellness programs, many initiatives fail to address the root causes of burnout: lack of autonomy, unsustainable workloads, and insufficient recovery time. At?YOL, we believe in a different approach. Burnout isn't solved with surface-level perks—it requires a?fundamental shift?in how organizations support their people. Our?science-backed leadership and wellbeing programs?focus on real, lasting change, equipping employees and teams with the tools to build resilience, reconnect to purpose, and create sustainable high performance. ???The question is no longer whether to invest in wellbeing—but whether companies can afford not to. Let’s move beyond band-aid solutions and tackle burnout at its core. If you’re ready to build a culture that supports both?people and performance, let’s talk. ??
