Fishbowl’s latest report points to the potential impact of work-from-home policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. When Fishbowl conducted a similar survey last fall, 58% said they suffered from burnout. Since the pandemic hit and forces significantly more people to work from home, that number jumped to 68.7%.
The impact seems to be even more pronounced for the marketing and advertising industry, which has the second highest rate of professionals reporting burnout. The industry also shows the highest percentage of employees saying burnout has caused them to look for another job, with 43.56% seeking new opportunities, higher than the Fishbowl average of 37.41%.
