55% of U.S. employees are experiencing burnout on the job.
For frontline and shift-based teams, the number climbs even higher. A Workplace Intelligence study found 75% of frontline employees report feeling burned out.
And the cost isn't just personal. According to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, burnout costs employers:
🔹 $3,999 per hourly employee per year
🔹 $10,824 per manager
🔹 $20,683 per executive
89% of that cost comes from presenteeism, not sick days. Burnout rarely looks like a call-out. It looks like reduced output from people who are still clocked in.
The good news? Two of the biggest drivers, excessive hours and unpredictable schedules, are also the most preventable.
