New research from Robert Half reveals a growing strain on today’s workers. According to a survey of 1,500 professionals across Canada, 47% report feeling burned out and 31% indicate they are more burned out now than they were the year prior. In 2024, Robert Half reported 42% of workers were experiencing burnout, while in 2023 the number was 33%.

The top factors contributing to burnout:

• Heavy workloads and long hours (39%)
• Emotional or mental fatigue from high-stress tasks (38%)
• Insufficient work-life balance (28%)
• Lack of management support or recognition (28%)
• Lack of professional growth opportunities (28%)

Those who report the highest burnout levels are:

• Professionals in the legal and HR fields (59%)
• Working parents (51%)
• Millennial professionals (50%)

Burnout isn’t just affecting workers—it’s also impacting businesses. The heavy workloads cited by workers as the top driver of burnout are in part a consequence of longer hiring cycles. According to a separate survey of more than 1,050 managers, 39% said burnout among existing staff is a major challenge they face when unable to fill a necessary role. Other repercussions they report facing are decreased productivity (40%), delayed project timelines (34%), higher turnover (30%), and lost revenue (24%).
