Burnout

Guest: Dalene Sechele-Manana, HR Director of Mercantile Bank Burnout is well-recognised for its negative effects on a person's life and wellbeing, but less well-known is boreout - another sub-optimal state that is prevalent in workplaces and characterised by low motivation, low challenge, and low interest. It usually results from having too little to do, too little autonomy, or too few opportunities to use one's skills and passions in a way that helps you live up to your full potential at work.
