Part 2: Executive Summary

Purpose and respondents

In an organization, it is vital to keep employees motivated and evaluate how they feel about the work-related environment so the output levels can be maximized. It can seem that overworked employees mainly produce higher output but deep down, the level of job satisfaction declines if working extra hours is not compensated, and the efforts are not recognized. At the same time, burnout levels increase with overworking and the quality of life even when employees' homes become very small due to exhaustion. The survey seeks to analyze burnout levels in the organization and the contributing factors.

The entire organization surveyed ethical concerns like confidentiality as gender, age, leadership, and tenure were not mandatory, and people would choose not to indicate. The people could also decide the level of burnout from the given scales with five choices that best explain how each feel. The position 5was 'I am not sure if I can make another day,' and the positive side was, 'I feel great! Energy to spare'. The level of burnout at home had a range of five options s with the highest being 'I feel great! No stress at all' and the last was, "It feels like I'm in a pressure cooker. The other options on the survey were methods of relieving stress based on personal input of reducing stress with a scale of five. The last survey question was whether the employees love what they do, and a scale of five with strongly disagree and strongly agree on the extremes. Data was collected and tabled in an excel sheet to directly analyze the outcome of burnout levels.

Results

The results in general show that employees have moderate levels of burnout on most days which contributes to a level of stress at work and at home. For instance, the female employees experiencing the "pretty wiped out almost every day" are 21 while only 6 male employees feel the same. At the same time employees who responded to "A little stress that would be expected with ups and downs of life" it was seen that nearly all the four age groups were involved. For those aged rom 50+ had 15 employees, ages 40-49 had 13 employees, ages 30-39 had 7 employees, and 20-29 had 1 employee. Thus, it can be said with the increase in age the stress level increases with the ups and downs of life. It can be attributed to the roles that comes with age.

In the quest for which leadership strongly agrees on loving what they do, it can be seen that managers strongly agree with 24 employees holding that opinion. The directors had a frequency of 8, followed by executives with a frequency of 5 and individual contributors with four. One employee opted out of indicating but loved what they did.

Regarding gender tenure with 5+ with the lowest response on 'I feel great! Energy to Spare!', the female employees had the lowest level of only one employee while the male employees had a frequency of three.

Recommendations

It has been seen that different employees have different levels of burnout. It needs to understand the organization's demographic and the strengths and weaknesses of each employee to keep all with the diversified needs to be highly motivated. Productivity is not guaranteed by working many hours but by having highly motivated employees. It can mean giving off time for paid vacations and rests on making sure that the rate of productivity is high among all employees (Sijbom et al., 2019). The other options come with life balance; with many not engaging with ways of relaxing, it can imply that encouraging flexibility can be a good choice of options to ease stress. It can man engaging in physical exercise like walking or jogging few minutes after work to stay motivated and engaged (Sijbom et al., 2019).
