While we are dealing with the visible COVID-19 pandemic, a different, less apparent pandemic has been growing. Burnout is affecting a growing number of employees, and the drain on productivity—not to mention the negative physical and mental consequences it brings with it—needs to be taken seriously. One group in particular, though, seems to be experiencing burnout at much higher rates than their counterparts: working parents. According to a new survey of nearly 500,000 workers conducted by Maven, nearly one in four working parents experiences burnout. What’s more, an estimated 4.8 million cases of burnout are considered “preventable.” But what can employers do to better support the working parents on their teams? It comes down to understanding needs, providing help, and increasing flexibility. Parents are not a monolith, and individuals have unique needs. Encourage managers to talk with the parents on their teams and see what the organization could be doing to better support them.
