One moment, you\u2019re kicking goals and steaming through your daily routine; the next, you\u2019re desperately watching trashy Netflix Christmas movies and eating instant ramen in bed (&#8230;or so I hear).\n\nBecoming obsessed with royal dramas in made-up European countries isn\u2019t the only symptom of end of year burnout. It can trigger feelings of exhaustion, anxiety and dissatisfaction. In 2023, we would argue that people are twice as likely to be at risk of seasonal burnout; it\u2019s been long years of relentless lockdowns, restrictions and uncertainty. We feel tense just thinking about it.\n\nBurnout of any kind easily seeps from our personal time into our working lives, and is ripe for social contagion. If someone in your team is feeling it, there\u2019s a good chance that it could <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/7-signs-of-a-toxic-workplace-culture\/\">spread through the workplace<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/employee-engagement-guide\/\">impacting morale<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/leaders-guide-company-culture\/\">culture<\/a> and even <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/reduce-staff-turnover\/\">retention<\/a> into the new year.\n<h2 id=\"what-is-end-of-year-burnout\">What is end of year burnout?<\/h2>\nEnd of year burnout (also referred to as end of year fatigue) is a phenomenon that generally occurs in around November and early December each year. It\u2019s a feeling of exhaustion typified by a sense that the year has worn us out, and it\u2019s still far from over. Experiencing end of year burnout is kind of like looking down the barrel of the last 5km of a marathon. You may have sped through the majority of it, but the home stretch might just be the toughest.\n\nEven though most of us find enjoyment in the silly season, it doesn\u2019t necessarily reduce the effects of end of year burnout. As we move into December, the overcommitments of social activities &#8211; even if they\u2019re something that we generally enjoy &#8211; can add to our mental load.\n\nCompany lunches, holiday parties, and running errands for the festive season fill our calendars. It can be difficult to admit that these typically fun things can end up making us feel guilty, such is the vicious cycle of this frustrating experience.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4832\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4832\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The grinch crying\" class=\"wp-image-4832 size-full\" height=\"258\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Grinch.gif\" width=\"480\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4832\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">*living the guilt of end of year burnout*<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nRemember, experiencing end of year burnout doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you dislike your job or your work. Correlating end of year burnout with <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/outgrowing-role\/\">job dissatisfaction<\/a> is a mistake. Work stresses can add to end of year burnout, but they\u2019re not necessarily the ultimate cause. Still, there\u2019s plenty that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/guide-to-boosting-employee-mental-wellbeing\/\">managers and employers can do<\/a> to treat the symptoms of burnout in their teams, re-engaging their employees in the process.\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-symptoms-of-end-of-year-burnout\">What are the symptoms of end of year burnout?<\/h2>\nEnd of year burnout symptoms run alongside general effects of burnout. They just occur in front of a festive backdrop, I suppose. People experiencing burn out will often cycle through;\n<h3 id=\"exhaustion\">Exhaustion<\/h3>\nBurn out can make us feel incredibly fatigued, no matter how many gingerbread frappucinos we drink. Getting up in the morning can feel much more difficult, we\u2019ll find ourselves yawning more throughout the day and staring into space at regular intervals. At the end of the workday we\u2019ll feel compelled to crawl onto the couch and stay there until further notice.\n<h3 id=\"stress-and-overwhelm\">Stress and overwhelm<\/h3>\nWhen we experience burnout, the most menial tasks can feel unachievable. This is generally because our mental capacity is at breaking point. Any additional tasks or activities, even if they\u2019re generally quick or easy, can make us want to retreat.\n<h3 id=\"drop-in-motivation\">Drop in motivation<\/h3>\nAs everything feels so much more difficult than usual, our motivation can drop. We don\u2019t have the energy to get our regular dopamine hit from ticking off work consistently, and with each incomplete task, we lose more and more momentum.\n<h3 id=\"negativity\">Negativity<\/h3>\nExhaustion, overwhelm and a lack of motivation can really bring out our inner Scrooge. Feeling grumpy and flat is a natural product of end of year burn out, and sadly, this can have the biggest effect on drawing others in. Nothing can dampen your team\u2019s spirits quicker than a throwaway negative comment from a burnt out colleague.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4833\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4833\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Michael Caine as Scrooge saying 'Humbug'\" class=\"wp-image-4833 size-full\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/scrooge.gif\" width=\"480\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4833\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Resist BSE (Big Scrooge Energy).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nThink it might be more than end of year burnout?

The good news about it is that there are lots of strategies that you can use to help your team resist this unfortunate yuletide experience. When you see end of year burnout creeping in, reach for these helpful tips.\n<h3 id=\"1-encourage-them-to-take-leave\">1. Encourage them to take leave<\/h3>\nI\u2019m certainly guilty of pushing myself to wait until the end of the year to take any holidays. After all, we\u2019re so close, right? If I just hold out for a few more weeks, I can drown my burnout in pavlova and brandy.\n\nThis, however, is not the wisest approach. If your staff member hasn\u2019t taken any leave for a while, a long weekend or a half working week could be just what they need to fuel them to the end of the year.\n<h3 id=\"2-show-your-appreciation\">2. Show your appreciation<\/h3>\nMost workplaces <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/employee-reward-ideas\/\">give thanks to their employees<\/a> by throwing a holiday party towards the end of the year. While this time-honoured tradition is fun for teams, it doesn\u2019t take away the need to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/ways-to-appreciate-your-employees\/\">show your appreciation<\/a> in the last quarter of the year.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/reward-and-recognition-guide\/\">Reward and recognition<\/a> is a great antidote for demotivation. Even small positive reinforcements can give your team members a lift. Share kind words with your employee, or highlight some of their great work from throughout the year. At 91±¬ΑΟ, we use our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\">on-platform company feed<\/a> to shout out a job well done to the whole business.\n\nIf you have any budget to spare, you might consider organising a low-key event for your team before the end of the year. Be conscious that everyone\u2019s calendars will be filling up, so prioritise quality over quantity. A fun lunch out on the company or a festive happy hour is a perfect choice.\n<h3 id=\"3-dont-spring-new-tasks-or-projects-on-them\">3. Don\u2019t spring new tasks or projects on them<\/h3>\nSay you\u2019ve just had an amazing idea. You want to get your staff across it, organise a brainstorming session and get the ball rolling.\n\n<strong>Hot tip<\/strong>: Don\u2019t.\n\nUnless your new project or task absolutely can\u2019t wait, push it to 2024. Your team members are likely focused on just getting to the end of the year, and they probably won\u2019t be able to match your energy until they\u2019ve had a break.\n\nTrust me, your team will be happier &#8211; and you\u2019ll likely get a much better result &#8211; by kicking off your project in the new year.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4834\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4834\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Elf screaming 'No'\" class=\"wp-image-4834 size-full\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/elf.gif\" width=\"300\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4834\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The prospect of picking up new work this year makes us feel:<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"4-help-them-prioritise-end-of-year-deadlines\">4. Help them prioritise end of year deadlines<\/h3>\nAs well as refraining from adding any new work to your team\u2019s plates, you might see how you can lighten their existing workload.\n\nHave you ever heard people talk about winding down for the year and think <em>ummm\u2026 I have more work than ever?!<\/em> While the end of the year can quieten for some, for many, it\u2019s a rush of final deadlines and reporting.\n\nCatch up for a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/what-are-1-1s\/\">1:1 meeting<\/a> with your team and ask how they are keeping up with this kind of work. Take a look at their task list with them and see if you can make a game plan together, identifying what they need to prioritise and what is more of a \u2018nice-to-have\u2019.\n<h3 id=\"5-encourage-time-out-for-health-and-wellness\">5. Encourage time out for health and wellness<\/h3>\nIf your workplace has any kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/employee-wellness-program-ideas\/\">mental wellness resources<\/a>, it\u2019s worth spruiking them near the silly season.\n\nIf you have an employee assistance program (EAP), send out a friendly reminder of how your team can get in touch, no matter how small the issue. If you offer yoga or stretching sessions, share the details again. You could even just send around some general mindfulness tips or online meditations.\n\nReminding your employees to take time out of their day for wellness can <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/refresh-employee-mindset\/\">give them a little boost of energy<\/a>, and send the message that you prioritise their wellbeing.\n\nOh, and for the love of Michael Bubl\u00e9, don\u2019t push any idea of striving for a \u2018summer body\u2019 in any talk about wellbeing. Holiday gluttony is a time-honoured tradition that should be free of guilt, always.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4835\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4835\" style=\"width: 384px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Michael Buble clicking his fingers 'Buble Approves'\" class=\"wp-image-4835 size-full\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/buble.gif\" width=\"384\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4835\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just Buble things.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"6-dont-put-too-much-pressure-on-next-years-goals\">6. Don\u2019t put too much pressure on next year\u2019s goals<\/h3>\nLooking to the future when we\u2019re struggling with the present can detach us from the needs of the here and now.\n\nAlthough it can be tempting for your team to jump into 2024 planning, try to keep them focused on the tasks at hand. It will be much better for everyone to dive into next year\u2019s planning when they have a clearer head, and some perspective on the year that has just gone.\n<h3 id=\"7-support-flexible-working-and-quiet-work\">7. Support flexible working and quiet work<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s pretty amazing what good a neighbourhood walk or a quick swimming break can do for the effects of burnout. Supporting flexible work can give your team more opportunities for breaks like these, as well as helping them run to the dreaded post office when they need to.\n\nFlexible working can also help your team knuckle down for some quiet work at home. Having additional headspace, away from the bustle of the office, can help them charge through that stubborn end of year workload. If you want the team to still have some office time, try putting aside a certain amount of \u2018collaboration\u2019 time a week when your team attends the physical workspace together; then release them to work remotely for the rest of the day.\n<h3 id=\"8-keep-a-positive-mindset\">8. Keep a positive mindset<\/h3>\nAs a leader, it\u2019s your responsibility to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/how-to-inspire-a-team-at-work\/\">keep morale high<\/a> amongst the pressures of end of year burnout. Try to keep a positive tone with your team when energy is running low. Approach this time of year with patience and an open door policy if anyone needs to talk through issues.\n\nYou don\u2019t have to share Christmassy memes, bring yummy treats to the office or wear some kind of novelty holiday hat, but look &#8211; it can\u2019t hurt. Live your best festive life.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4836\" style=\"width: 384px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mariah Carey putting a start on a Christmas tree\" class=\"wp-image-4836 size-full\" height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/mariah.gif\" width=\"384\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Festive spirit, activate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"\"><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"finish-the-year-on-a-high\">Finish the year on a high<\/h2>\nIf there\u2019s one thing that most people can agree on, it\u2019s that the last couple of years have been a bit of a dumpster fire. For many, it\u2019s been two long years without celebrating the holidays with family and friends. It\u2019s been two long years of uncertainty and stress.
