Ways to deal with the emotional burnout of staff during the quarantine period

Abstract

The coronavirus pandemic is driving the need to make changes in the way companies operate. Now many employees are forced to work remotely. Remote work has a number of advantages, but in addition, it carries a number of disadvantages. Together with the general economic, social and epidemiological tensions in the country, this becomes a source of stress for employees. Constant stress can cause burnout. Burnout can include feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from one’s job, or negative/cynical feelings related to one’s job – including reduced belief that the person is able to perform the job and produce good results. Emotional burnout leads to a decrease in professional efficiency and effectiveness.
