Symptoms of burnout are varied: Lack of or too much sleep Mood swings Lethargy Absence of motivation Poor decision making Difficulty focusing or being productive Less involvement in projects Social disconnection However, the portrait may vary a lot, and considering the context, even the classic “observe for a change in behavior/mood” is not a good clue anymore. The best way is to listen to the person and use your gut feeling. And inquire, don’t presume.Being remote, we are losing many of the cues we normally have to detect burnout. We now have to rely on brief meetings, through a screen. Creating a connection and building trust is key. But an extra effort is needed now.
