Over the last two years, the average workday seems to have grown even longer as employees balance working from home with their personal lives. The number of virtual meetings has increased and even as masking and social distancing recommendations related to the pandemic have lifted, meetings and events are not going back to normal. "Zoom" fatigue is setting in for many as they navigate meeting after meeting every day.
Companies in all lines of business are also dealing with the impact of the great resignation, which is also forcing companies to do more with far fewer personnel resources. This, in turn, places more stress on the remaining workers.

Cathy Ellwood, founder of Ellwood Enterprises, and a financial services executive with decades of experience in developing and executing strategic plans, and fostering innovation and leadership in her teams, shared her insights on how managers can identify burnout in their teams.
