Ever feel like your job is sucking the life out of you? You’re not alone! In our year-long study of 801 employees, we discovered that burnout (a.k.a. emotional exhaustion) makes people want to quit—and for good reason! Those who took the plunge and switched jobs (“movers”) felt way less drained afterward. Meanwhile, the ones who stuck it out (“stayers”) stayed stuck in their exhaustion.
The lesson?
Sometimes, change is as good as rest. For workplaces, creating opportunities for smooth transitions might be the key to happier, healthier teams. It’s time to shake things up!
