Burnout can result from chronic workplace stress and includes exhaustion, depersonalization, and feelings of inefficacy. Over 50 percent of behavioral health providers reported feeling and experiencing burnout symptoms, and this is projected to increase with the number of people seeking behavioral health care and additional workplace challenges. Service, healthcare, and high daily variable interaction professions like teaching or working in a school have similar chronic stress.
Burnout can have detrimental effects on those individually in addition to the organization as a whole. To address the issue, SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) developed a guide to provide strategies organizations can implement to improve the overall climate and modify the drivers of burnout. SAMHSA identifies six contributors to workplace burnout: workload, control, reward, community, fairness, and values.
Whole-organizational approaches are more effective at lessening burnout than individual strategies alone. The guide recommends organizations develop task forces that include all levels of staff in the planning and implementation processes and provide appropriate support. Once the organization’s needs are identified, teams can select strategies relevant to specific issues. Organizations should identify current staff workloads and increase appropriate staffing if necessary. When considering control, organizations can maximize autonomy within staff’s roles and ensure staff have access to resources and support.
