Why Britain’s workforce is burning out: New data reveals the true cost of the workforce transformation gap

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the alarming issue of workforce burnout in the United Kingdom, as revealed by new research from HiBob. The study highlights the challenges faced by employees and managers in an increasingly digital and demanding work environment. According to the findings, a significant portion of workers feel the pressure in their roles has increased, with many feeling the need to be constantly available. This "always-on" culture is identified as a symptom of a deeper workforce transformation challenge, where outdated management practices equate constant availability with high performance. The research suggests that organizations have unintentionally created cultures where responsiveness is rewarded more than effectiveness, leading to work spilling into personal life and affecting workers' long-term well-being. Managers are also feeling the strain, with many struggling to balance performance expectations with employee well-being. The findings indicate that managers are absorbing pressure and often feel underprepared to handle these challenges. Toby Hough, Vice President of People and Culture for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at HiBob, emphasizes the need for organizations to redesign how work gets done, moving beyond measuring activity to enabling impact. HiBob's Human Capital Management platform, Bob, aims to help organizations navigate this transformation by providing leaders with the intelligence to build sustainable, high-performing cultures.
