In this year’s Global Employer Survey, employee burnout emerged as one of the top concerns for global multinational corporations. This creates a unique challenge for employers, as their priorities for the near term are focused on talent.

Here we explore some of our findings, examine burnout from a multinational employer perspective, look at how employees are feeling about work, and consider some data-driven actions that employers may consider as they look to support their workforce.
