Businesses at risk
The businesses at risk are those also with a critical role to play in our economies. A 2023
survey in the US revealed nearly three in four workers have suffered from burnout in their
current role.
The survey by Ringover revealed that a stunning 81.67 per cent of workers in the finance
industry considered walking away from their jobs. Telecommunications was close behind
with 77.24 per cent of employees feeling burnt out and construction workers reported at
75.86 per cent.
Failing resilience
In recent years, the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic, though gradually waning, has
been succeeded by fresh disruptions stemming from conflicts like the Ukraine-Russia
standoff. These crises have created a ‘butterfly effect’ through supply chains and services,
acerbating stressors.
