Stressed businessman
Employees are more stressed and burnt out than ever, due in part to rising health care costs, financial vulnerability, and fears about the long term wellbeing of their families. A new study by Aflac found that 3 in 5 Americans say they are affected by burnout at work and 38% of employees say they have high levels of stress, compared to only 33% in 2023.
According to the study, both younger employees and Hispanic employees were more likely to experience greater burnout and higher stress levels than their counterparts. The data shows that 66% of millennials say they are facing moderate to high burnout, compared to only 55% of Gen X and 39% of boomers. Additionally, the study found that Hispanic employees were twice as likely to feel very high levels of burnout compared to non-Hispanic employees.
