The prevalence of burnout with accompanied depression and anxiety has been increasing and more and more employees are affected, and as such the frequency of sick leave among employees has been augmenting.
Burnout is a serious health problem that can be triggered by a combination of work-related and personal stressors such as acute and chronic stress, extreme demanding work environment, tense relationships between employees and employer and managers, income that is proportionally less then job's demands, low self-confidence and other personal proble
ms. Thus, it is understandable that a person affected by burnout might be feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, hopeless, helpless and might also be questioning many things in her life. Usually, taking a break from day-to-day responsibilities and stressors as well as increasing social interactions and pleasurable activities can help the individual recharge her/his "b
atteries", become energized, and as such allowing a faster return to work. Given the importance of increasing pleasure to break the depressive cycle, it is crucial for insurance companies to understand this concept and not penalize their recipient-employees for having fun while they are supposed to be "sick".
