Want to avoid burnout? Take a trampoline!

More than 17% of the Dutch employees have complaints of burnout, and this percentage is even higher in other countries. The World Health Organization has acknowledged burnout as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion are key. Burnout is included in the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases as an occupational phenomenon.

How being diagnosed ‘burnout’ by an occupational physician be prevented? In this lecture, the most important scientific knowledge on factors affecting burnout will be summarized in a simple, five-factor model: the trampoline model. Using this model will keep your colleagues, your clients - and oneself – resilient, which is key to avoid burnout.
