4 steps against overload: Flood of tasks: How to avoid burnout at the end of the year
At the end of the year, projects, deadlines and additional tasks pile up - often for the reliable ones in the team. How employees can counteract before the pressure becomes too great.
As the year comes to a close, many companies and teams face a surge in work, with deadlines looming and employees taking time off. Career advisor Katharina Engelhardt notes that reliable employees often take on extra tasks, leading to burnout. To combat this, Engelhardt recommends four steps: recognizing stress and questioning its causes, assessing which tasks are truly necessary, discussing workload with the team, and managing expectations early on.
By following these steps, employees can better manage their workload and avoid taking on too much. Engelhardt suggests that employees should reflect on their motivations and priorities, and communicate with their team to distribute tasks more evenly.
