The World Health Organization and the International Labor Organization said that working long hours led to 745,000 deaths from stroke and ischemic heart disease in 2016, a 29% increase since 2000.
WHO Director-General linked the COVID-19 pandemic to “blurring the boundaries between home and work,” which resulted in longer hours for many, thus a higher risk of premature death.
Experts note that burnout is also linked to plummeting productivity, poor retention, and other factors that can impact a company’s bottom line.
Data shows that pandemic-battered workers are now leaving their jobs at some of the highest rates ever.
