ACCE Burnout Resources

Nationwide research shows that 67% of people are experiencing increased stress, 57% have increased anxiety and 54% are emotionally exhausted. Productivity is impacted in many ways, as one in five of our employees are taking longer to finish tasks. As leaders, empathy is one of the greatest skills we can bring to the table. Learn more about the research here. 

Adam Grant also has a new article that notes people are moving into roles where they have more freedom in big and small ways. As leaders, we need to think about how we can provide more flexibility and freedom to our team members. It’s important that the top leaders of chambers talk about and address mental health.

There’s also a new book out called The Burnout Epidemic that addresses causes of and actionable strategies to address burnout.
