Burnout leaves people feeling exhausted, negative, and ineffective, and is thought to have

affected 70% of people last year.


Burnout recovery can take three months to a year, but the exact amount of time varies
depending on the levels of burnout.
Both moderate and severe levels of burnout require time of work and rest — your employee
needs to recover sufficiently to start addressing the root causes of their burnout.
To support long-term burnout recovery, you and your employee should create a burnout
treatment plan to discuss objectives and ideas for each of the problem areas.
Therapy is a highly effective way to support long-term burnout recovery as it provides your
employee with validation and support, helps them create coping strategies, and challenges their
negative thought patterns.
‍

In the last year, 70% of people experienced burnout at work.

Let that sit with you for a moment.

That’s pretty huge. That’s 70% of people feeling exhausted, negative, and ineffective at work, not
to mention the myriad of other symptoms associated with burnout. And that’s 70% of people
navigating their recovery from burnout alongside the other daily pressures of their work and
personal life.

Clearly, proper support for burnout recovery (and preventing employee burnout in the first place)
is needed. And while taking time off work will address the symptoms of workplace burnout, it
won’t solve the root cause of the problem. After all, if someone on your team has already burnt
out so badly that they have to take off, that’s a sign there’s a deeper organisational issue that
needs to be rectified to preve.How long does burnout recovery take?
‍

‍ efore we dive into the different strategies to support burnout recovery, we wanted to set the
B
expectation for how long recovery from burnout can really take.

On average it takes three months to a year to fully recover from burnout. But just as the
symptoms vary from person to person, so does the length of time it takes to recover depending
on the level of burnout. In the most severe cases, research suggests that recovery from burnout
can take up to three years. This potentially long burnout recovery time is another reason why it’s
so important to have a proper burnout recovery plan in place to support your team: the sooner
you can help your employee, the sooner they’ll be back on track and that’s good for them — and
your business.

How much time off work does a person need to recover from burnout?
That depends on how severe their symptoms are. The best way to assess this is by using our
burnout symptoms test. With only moderate burnout symptoms, taking a few days off might be
enough; if the symptoms are severe then that will probably need to be weeks rather than days.

No matter whether your employee has moderate or severe burnout, the first step is to address
the symptoms — fatigue, negativity, and ineffectiveness — and to address them quickly. It's
important to do this sooner rather than later, as prolonged periods of burnout risk turning into a
more serious form of poor mental health, which could be a lot trickier to recover from. To do this,
your employee should be encouraged to take time off work and rest.
