In 2020 1.7 million health care workers quit their jobs. The number one reason is burn-out from overwork.[1]
How can we keep essential employees working without burnout?
To protect the mental health of front-line workers - the first thing we have to do is measure. And, measure what matters.
Self-reporting does not work. Vulnerable populations - like those experiencing burnout, depression, anxiety or other mental health issues - are unable to accurately report how they are feeling or simply do not have the motivation to do so.
So how do we know when to intervene to keep essential workers emotionally healthy?
Passive, objective and anonymous measurement is essential to determining mental health status.
In a recent study done by Dr. Paul J. Zak at Claremont Graduate University using wondr. - the platform powered by Immersion - predicted depressive symptoms in a vulnerable population two days before burnout with 98% accuracy.
