Forthcoming research: Burnout in Europe

Burnout can result in low-energy, negative emotions and employee disengagement. In September Eurofound will release a new report on Burnout in Europe, examining what causes burnout, the effects of burnout, and mapping where in Europe is considered an occupational disease.
