BANGKOK (NNT) - Burnout is a term that many modern workers are familiar with. Some people are experiencing it right now, while others may have already gone through it. Burnout frequently has a negative impact on work performance, daily life, relationships with family and coworkers, and so on. Workers who are burned out may become discouraged and lose motivation. JobsDB, Asia’s leading job portal, encourages new generation workers to rekindle their passion for work. JobsDB educates them on burnout and provides advice on how to change their perspectives and attitudes while learning new skills, so they make the most of their time and overcome burnout. As a result, they would be armed with new knowledge and skills for a new job opportunity.

 

Burnout is common for people of all ages

 

The term "burnout" conjures up images of long-term workers’ conditions. However, burnout affects workers of all ages, from first jobbers to supervisors and senior executives. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including an inability to manage things that affect your work, such as your work schedule or assignments, a sense of not belonging at work, not sharing the same goals as the organization, not being given the opportunity to do the job you are good at, being overlooked, and the classic work-life imbalance. These factors contribute to performance delays, mental stress, and a loss of self-confidence and trust in the organization, all of which impact your performance.

 

The crisis shed light on myriad hidden opportunities

 

The pandemic has been a global crisis in recent years, causing immeasurable losses to countries worldwide. Many businesses have had to downsize or even close, while workers have been laid off and forced to look for new jobs in vain. It is not surprising that these workers are more likely than ever to give up and become burned out. However, we couldn’t deny that the Covid-19 crisis also created new opportunities for many businesses and exponential growth in the demand for high-skilled workers.

 

Duangporn Promon, Managing Director of Jobs DB Recruitment (Thailand) Limited, said, “According to JobsDB Thailand Salary Report 2022 distributed on JobsDB (Thailand) platform, Computer/IT industry has been the industry with the highest job ads posted. With the most job openings across all industries, Sales/Marketing was the most in-demand job function. Several job functions in Thailand experienced salary increases as a result of the increased demand. Computer/IT, Sales & Customer service, Marketing & PR, Education and Beauty, and Health & Fitness were among them.

 

Various measures enacted to control the epidemic, business activity restrictions, and abrupt termination of employment caused entrepreneurs and workers to place a greater emphasis on job and financial security. As a result, workforces worldwide are developing in-demand digital skills as they seek new opportunities in industries or job functions with high growth potential. According to the "Decoding Digital Talent" survey of over 9,000 digital workers from various countries, including Singapore, Indonesia, Denmark, and Thailand, 63 percent of digital workers want better job opportunities, while 49 percent want a new challenge.

 

Duangporn adds, "Although the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) found that the national unemployment rate is relatively low this year, it is interesting that the number of workers experiencing burnout is increasing. However, we would like workers to recognize burnout as a common occurrence. We hope they use the JobsDB survey results to look for opportunities to develop skills and qualifications for a more stable job in terms of organizational growth and future compensation."

 

Developing skills and seeking inspiration to overcome burnout

 

In an era of constant change and adaptation, struggling with burnout is not the best option. Aside from learning new skills, we can avoid burnout by increasing happiness at work by identifying the source of the burnout and starting something new. For example, setting a new goal, finding new inspiration and challenge, creating a positive environment, traveling to a new destination, or discovering a new hobby. This could eventually lead to a successful new career.

The rhetoric of capitalism these days...

My god.

 

Any story that has average words of 8 letters I tend to ignore ! Normal business rhetoric - so glad I got out of work when I did, the meetings to work ratio was becoming ridiculous

I got burned out reading this article. So glad I have not had to endure the torture of dealing with bosses, as I have always been self employed. What a blessing. 

 

They talk about the toll of Covid, but they diplomatically leave out any discussion of draconian restrictions caused by an inept administration, who imposed highly selective shutdowns, that were incredibly punitive to the common folks, and favored the cronies, of course. 

The only in-demand jobs I see are for delivery mbike riders

Zillions jostling at traffic lights these days.

How is it possible to write so much but say so little. Totally bizarre article in my opinion  and completely worthless

Yeah right... I noticed that watching the Win rider swinging in the hammock between rides, or the old man peed up on the porch at midday.
