The Snowball Effect of Burnout
$9.95
Fitness professionals are particularly vulnerable to burnout due to the nature of the work: fitness clubs are open nearly 24/7, open/close shifts, weekend work, and often being paid wages below rising needs. The American Psychological Association has reported that 1 in 5 Americans has suffered burnout with rising anxiety, depression, suicide ideation and actual suicides and the rise of chronic disease due to unhealthy lifestyle choices. Examine the rising trend in burnout and all the health conditions that may present as a result of this diagnosis. The U.S. Surgeon has released a new Framework for Mental Health & Well-Being in the Workplace outlining the foundational role that workplaces should play in promoting the health and well-being of workers and our communities. Discover more about burnout, how it affects you, and what you can do about it.
