10 Companies That Care About Employee Wellness

Chances are you’ve experienced career burnout—or you will eventually. New research from ClassPass finds that 78 percent of employees have become burnt out by work at some point in their lives. It makes sense: these days, it can be pretty difficult to prioritize your well-being when you’re expected to check your work email after hours and basically be available 24/7.

What is career burnout, anyway?

“Career burnout happens when you devote so much of your time and energy to your job that you become completely mentally and physically depleted,” says Emily Eliza Moyer, a career coach and consultant who focuses on helping women define their purpose so they can find work they love. (Moyer says experiencing burnout herself as a sales and marketing professional is what led her to her current work as a career coach.)

Signs of burnout include feeling unmotivated, fatigued, and even depressed, says Moyer.

“Burnout can happen if you’re working endless long hours, if you aren’t taking care of yourself or if you don’t implement any boundaries between work and the rest of your life,” she explains. “It is more likely to happen if you’re doing work that isn’t meaningful to you.”

How companies are combating career burnout

Because we live in a culture that is always on, making time for sleep, exercise, meditation, or any other good-for-you activity is easier said than done. But companies can, and should, do their part to help ensure employees like you don’t reach the point of complete and utter exhaustion.

Why? Employee wellness programs don’t just benefit you—they also help employers improve their bottom line. “Happy and healthy employees always leads to better performance,” Moyer points out.

According to the ClassPass study, 58 percent of people surveyed say they would be more likely to accept a job if the company offered a fitness and employee wellness package. The same number of people also said they would be more likely to stay in their current role if they got these kinds of benefits from their employer.

“The most effective step a company can take is to have senior leadership set the tone and culture for the company around employee wellness,” says Moyer. “Rather than approaching it from a stance of ‘preventing burnout,’ instead companies can take a positive approach by developing effective wellness programs.”
