Australian workers suffered a higher level of burnout at work compared to anywhere else in the world.

Microsoft’s latest Work Trends Index found that 62 per cent of Australian employees were experiencing burnout, compared with a global average of 48 per cent. The report showed that 90 percent of managers said the shift to hybrid work had affected their confidence in workers’ productivity, yet 85 percent of staff said they had never worked harder.
