HBR presented a short burnout check which I find easy to use and understand. Why is it important? Sometimes we think we know what’s going on with our team members but we might miss something.
Just taking a short survey can reveal pain points we might be able to address.
To do the checkup yourself, write down how much stress, on a scale of 0 to 10 (0 being negligible stress, 10 being extreme stress), you experience from each of the six factors of burnout: workload, values, reward, control, fairness, and community. For example, if you’re finding it tough to connect with colleagues after a long period of working from home, you might score community an 8. Conversely, you might rank workload a 2 if you have a good amount to do but find the number of tasks manageable.
Your score — the sum of all the dimensions out of 60 — will show how well you’re doing at the moment. While the total number of points is important, what’s more useful is your score in each of the six categories.
After you experienced it and answered you can send it to your team members and suggest going over it together or use your next 1:1 to discuss it.

Managing Dev

Taking a short burnout checkup can help reveal stress points in your team. Rate your stress levels from 0 to 10 across six factors of burnout: workload, values, reward, control, fairness, and community. Summing these scores will give an indication of your overall well-being, but focusing on each category individually may offer the most insights. Share the checkup with team members for a potential group discussion.
