One of the ”immediate actions” is to make leaders and employees in the company aware of burn-out. They should be informed about:

• The company will now focus on burn-out:
  • why?
  • public and social costs connected with burn-out
• Burn-out:
  • what is burn-out?
  • what are the symptoms?
• When burn-out is detected:
  • when to notify that a colleague might be burning out
  • who to inform
  • who has the responsibility for what
  • actions that will be put into effect when burn-out is discovered
• What happends next?
  • plan of strategy:
    • overview over:
      • stress and burn-out in the company
      • factors that cause stress, overload and burn-out
    • actions used to reduce the negative effect of the factors
  • suggestions from employees about:
    • factors that should be addressed
    • actions that should be initiated

Give information to everyone

It is especially important that the management learns about burn-out because this increases the realization of the gravity of burn-out. Everyone in the company should be informed about burn-out and its symptoms so they can recognize these symptoms with themselves and others, at work and at home.

Orally – not only written

To make sure that everyone gets the message, it should be given orally at a meeting with mandatory attendance. If the information is only given in writing, those who need it the most, can just put it in a drawer because they do not have time to read it...
