Burnout Support Toolkit for Your Team

Burnout Support

Burnout can quietly build and affect focus, health, and morale. This toolkit gives you simple ways to open the conversation and remind your team that support is available.

It includes an email template you can share with employees and a one-page flyer that walks through key signs of burnout and when it might be time to take action. The flyer highlights common symptoms like fatigue, irritability, trouble concentrating, and feeling disconnected, so employees can spot patterns early.

Use these resources to encourage your team to check in with themselves, reach out for help, and use the benefits already available to them.

Recognizing the signs of burnout

Body

Hi team,

Burnout rarely happens overnight. It tends to build slowly and can show up this time of year as constant fatigue, irritability, headaches, or feeling disconnected from work and everyday tasks.

To support you, we are sharing a short one-page flyer, “Recognizing the Signs of Burnout” [attached/linked]. It includes a simple checklist of common symptoms and a reminder that you do not have to push through on your own.

Take a few minutes to review the flyer. If you see yourself in several of the signs, think about what might help: small breaks during the day, clearer boundaries around work time, or talking with a manager, trusted colleague, or friend. Reaching out early is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.

Reconocer las señales del agotamiento

Body

Hola equipo:

El agotamiento casi nunca aparece de un día para otro. Suele acumularse poco a poco y, en esta época del año, puede mostrarse como fatiga constante, irritabilidad, dolores de cabeza o sentirse desconectado del trabajo y de las tareas diarias.

Para apoyarle, compartimos un folleto breve de una página, “Reconocer las señales del agotamiento” [attached/linked]. Incluye una lista sencilla de síntomas frecuentes y le recuerda que no tiene que seguir esforzándose solo.

Tómese unos minutos para revisar el folleto. Si se identifica con varias de las señales, piense qué podría ayudarle: hacer pequeñas pausas durante el día, poner límites más claros entre el trabajo y la vida personal, o hablar con un supervisor, colega de confianza o amigo. Pedir ayuda a tiempo es una muestra de sabiduría, no de debilidad.
