The basics

What is the Burnout Risk Assessment?

Burnout is a state of chronic work-related stress characterized by exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy. The WHO officially recognized it as an occupational phenomenon in 2019. Research estimates 67% of workers experience burnout at some point in their careers.

The three-factor burnout framework, a widely accepted construct in occupational health research, identifies three dimensions of burnout: emotional exhaustion (feeling drained), depersonalization (becoming cynical about work), and reduced personal accomplishment (feeling ineffective). Early detection is key to prevention.

JobCannon's burnout risk assessment uses evidence-based questions to evaluate your current risk level, identify which burnout dimensions are most concerning, and provide concrete prevention and recovery strategies, all free and confidential.
