Poor work relationships: When you work in a team, having healthy relationships with your colleagues and teammates is extremely important. Having poor relationships is detrimental to work. This leads to less support from teammates as well as managers, which leads to overworking.  

Insecurity about the job: You tend to overwork and walk on eggshells at work because of the fear of getting fired. This can lead to taking on more job roles. This may also make it difficult for you to say 'no' at work if it is out of your bandwidth. 

High pressure at work and an unhealthy work culture: An unhealthy work culture is the leading cause of burnout. Managers and team leaders who micromanage and pressurise the employees can lead to burnout in the team, along with work stress, frustration, and anger. 

Poor work-life balance: Creating a healthy work-life balance is difficult but not impossible. Having clear boundaries at work and having dedicated working hours is essential. Having a poor work-life balance leads to spending hours completing your work, with less leisure time. This leads to stress, frustration, a disturbed sleep schedule, and much more.  

Lack of control: Lack of control may look like not being able to prioritise your tasks, or procrastination at work, leading to increased workload and unmet deadlines. This contributes to work stress and eventually leads to burnout if not addressed on time. 

Building workplace boundaries: Build appropriate workplace boundaries. Learn to say 'no' to a task if you are swamped with work. Instead of working overtime, you can prioritise the leftover task the next day and rather get some much-needed rest. 

Having a schedule and control over your work: Prioritise your tasks and work on one task at a time. Have a realistic schedule that you can follow at your workplace. A certain amount of control is needed over your work to handle things in a professional manner. 

Open communication with teammates and seniors: There has to be open communication with your colleagues. Delegate work if it is becoming overwhelming for you, and ask for help when needed. This ensures that you don't end up overworking or taking on a lot of workload. 

Practicing self-care: Take short breaks at work. Avoid working on your day off and take that time to pause, reflect on how the week has been, and set new goals for the coming week. 

Values and goals: Understand and recognise your work values and goals. Take on tasks or job roles that align with your values and goals in order to grow as an individual.
