Assess your level of career stress, emotional exhaustion, and work-life balance.
Burnout is a state of chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. Recognized by the WHO as an 'occupational phenomenon,' burnout affects an estimated 77% of professionals at some point. This index measures your burnout risk across emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy.
Burnout was first described by psychologist Herbert Freudenberger in 1974 and later systematized by Christina Maslach through the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Maslach identified three core dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization (cynicism), and reduced personal accomplishment. In 2019, the WHO officially included burnout in the ICD-11, legitimizing it as a genuine occupational health concern. Our index draws from the MBI framework and contemporary workplace well-being research.
