Burnout Prevention

Create a Resilient, Burnout-Proof Workplace

Employee burnout is a critical business risk — with costly and damaging consequences for both individuals and organisations. Yet its early warning signs often go unrecognised and unaddressed until a crisis occurs.

Drawing on scientific insights from our proprietary AURA assessment tool, our programmes empower employees, teams and leaders to take proactive and focused actions to mitigate risk from burnout, increase resilience and create conditions that support sustainable performance.

We now recognise that measuring resilience is more important than measuring engagement.

Is This Approach Right for You?

We don’t take on every project — we only work with organisations ready to create lasting, meaningful change.

We can help you if:

✅ You value both performance and wellbeing — and want to support sustainable success without compromise.

✅ You operate in a high-pressure environment — aiming to protect your people while maintaining results.

✅ You want to be an employer of choice — recognising wellbeing as a key to attracting and retaining talent.

✅ You see signs of stress, burnout or disengagement — but need clear insights into what’s driving them.

✅ You want more than a one-off initiative — seeking a structured, evidence-based approach with measurable impact.

✅ Your leadership is ready to act — committed to honest conversations and collective resilience-building.

If that sounds like your organisation — let’s talk.

Burnout Isn’t Just A People Problem — It’s a Business Risk

Burnout doesn’t happen overnight, its a gradual build up of unmanaged stress. Whilst it starts with individuals, the consequences quickly ripple outwards, putting your business at serious risk.

The impacts extend far beyond employee wellbeing. Stress silently erodes performance and profitability, costing the business money through productivity loss, staff turnover, absenteeism and rising health costs.

And, stress also shows up in less visible — but equally damaging ways:

❌ Operational risk from stress induced mistakes and poor judgment

❌ Poor decisions and rigid thinking

❌ Declining morale, trust and toxic work environments

❌ Reduced innovation, creativity and collaboration

❌ Cultural deterioration and reputational damage

Stress may feel personal — but it’s a systemic issue with business-wide impact.

The Cost of Inaction: What the Data Shows

⚠️ £322 billion in global productivity loss is attributed to burnout each year (World Economic Forum)

⚠️ ‘Presenteeism’ leads to 35 working days lost per person per year (Vitality)

⚠️ 1 in 3 employees say stress affects their ability to perform (American Psychological Association)

⚠️ Stressed employees take 56% more sick days annually (Towers Watson)

⚠️ Burned-out employees are 2.6x more likely to actively seek a new job (Gallup)

⚠️ Stress-related human error is a leading cause of cyber and operational incidents (Gartner)

The Real Challenge?

Stress is rarely recognised early — and almost never measured in a rigorous, scientific, yet practical way.

Without clear, actionable data, the early warning signs of burnout stay invisible — until it’s too late and the damage is done.

You can’t manage what you can’t measure.

That’s why we created AURA — a scientific yet practical assessment and reporting platform designed to measure stress levels against a healthy benchmark, providing an index of resilience and actionable insights for improvement at the individual, team and organisational level.

AURA turns invisible stress into measurable intelligence — so you can protect your people, prevent burnout and create a resilient, high performing organisation.

Build Your Resilience Intelligence

Resilience isn’t a fixed individual trait — it’s a dynamic state which fluctuates depending on the environment, stress levels and ability to respond in an flexible, creative way.

It requires ongoing management — whether at a personal or collective level — closely monitoring for warning signals and taking swift, focused action to course correct before issues escalate.

We call this Resilience Intelligence — and it’s what AURA helps you develop at every level of your organisation.

Together, this helps build a resilient organisation that performs better — because its people are thriving.

⚙️ How It Works: A Practical and Proven Approach

Science-based. Scaleable. Systemic.

AURA combines psychometric data, action focused reporting and practical interventions to reduce burnout risk and build resilience across the system.

Here’s our 4 step A-U-R-A approach:

1. Awareness: See What’s Really Going On

Employees complete a confidential 15-minute AURA assessment — measuring signals of stress across five key dimensions. They receive a comprehensive report with their personal Resilience Index, key roadblocks and practical tips tailored to their stress profile.

You can’t solve it if you don’t see it. AURA makes the invisible visible.

2. Understanding: Turn Data Into Actionable Insight

We aggregate and analyse the data to reveal patterns, hotspots, and risk areas at individual, team and organisational levels — broken down by department, region, role or level.

You get a clear picture of where support is needed — and why.

3. Resilience: Take Smart, Targeted Action

AURA provides a fact-based platform for action — its confidential yet practical nature makes it safe to surface real issues and enables honest, constructive conversations that lead to meaningful change.

We equip employees, teams and leaders with tailored strategies via:

• Workshops and action planning sessions
• Manager toolkits, resources and templates
• Strategic sessions to address workplace drivers
• Skill building sessions to close gaps identified
• Embedding systems and processes that support sustainable success and healthy ways of working

Action is focused, relevant and rooted in insight — not guesswork.

4. Adjustment: Monitor & Refine

Burnout prevention and resilience-building aren’t one-off interventions — they require ongoing reflection, learning and iteration. Every 3–4 months, we help you review the data, gather feedback and refine your strategy.

You build a continuous feedback loop that sustains progress, strengthens resilience and enables adaptive performance.

At the heart of this process is a growth culture — one where teams are encouraged to reflect on challenges, learn from experience and evolve how they work together over time.

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach — it’s tailored to best suit your needs, culture and readiness.

Coming out of a tough period of change, AURA was extremely valuable in providing data-driven insight into the issue of stress. The team were able to uncover opportunities to create healthier habits and as a management team, we were able to better understand the pain points and put in place a targeted action plan to address these and foster a healthier and happier working environment.
