Take a breath. You are not alone. While the World Health Organization (WHO) is just now recognizing burnout, a result of stress, as an \u201coccupational phenomenon,\u201d the conversation around wellbeing at work is not new. If we learn anything from this newest designation, it\u2019s that wellbeing cannot be ignored because the need to focus on it continues to intensify.<\/p>\n<p>In May, WHO included burnout for the first time in its 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases which goes into effect January 2022. It described <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/mental_health\/evidence\/burn-out\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">burnout<\/a> as \u201cresulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WHO says you may be experiencing burnout if you feel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Energy depletion or exhaustion<\/li>\n<li>Increased mental distance, negative feelings or cynicism related to your job<\/li>\n<li>Less productive at work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Two years prior to WHO\u2019s announcement, Rand Corp., Harvard Medical School and the University of California, Los Angeles delivered a powerful study on more than 3,000 U.S. workers. It showed people are stressed at work and their physical and mental health is suffering as a result.<\/p>\n<p>While WHO says it is working on guidelines for mental wellbeing in the workplace, this is far from a new conversation and there\u2019s a lot we already know about how to feel better at work\u2014mentally, physically and emotionally. Here\u2019s some tips to avoid burnout:<\/p>\n<h3>Fuel the Brain<\/h3>\n<p>The relationship between physical activity, creativity and collaboration is vitally important. There\u2019s no denying our body fuels our brain. The research around this mind-body connection continues to grow\u2014Stanford University even found that walking increased creative output by an average of 60%. On the flip side, sitting can slow brain activity. Find ways to encourage people to set aside passive, sedentary behaviors for more active, physical engagement with colleagues and information to generate better ideas.

The best workplaces support teams while nurturing the needs of individuals (Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelcase.com\/teams\/\">New Work. New Rules<\/a>). People need a place to breakaway.
