Severe occupational burnout on the rise among Finnish workers

Workplace well-being in Finland continues to decline, with one in ten employees now experiencing severe occupational burnout, according to a new study by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health. The study, How is Finland Doing?, reveals a concerning trend: burnout and workplace stress have worsened over the last three years, with 25% of workers at increased risk of burnout.

The study highlights a rise in cognitive issues and cynicism at work, particularly among remote workers, with one in three reporting feelings of loneliness.
