Prevent Employee Burnout with TalentClick’s AVP Assessment

Burnout is more than just feeling exhausted or overworked; it’s a significant workplace phenomenon that reduces productivity, leads to disengaged employees, and even higher turnover rates. American organizations can lose up to $1.9 trillion annually due to disengaged employees. Addressing burnout has become essential. Understanding what triggers burnout and assessing personality traits that predict employee resilience are preventative steps that can be taken to create healthier, more productive workplaces.

At TalentClick, our Attitude-Values-Personality (AVP) assessment offers a groundbreaking solution for identifying employees at risk for burnout and predicting the traits contributing to resilience in stressful and demanding jobs. Here’s how the AVP assessment can make a difference in your organization’s well-being and bottom line.

What Is Burnout?

Burnout is a result of chronic, unmanaged workplace stress. Burnout is characterized by these 3 factors:

1. Exhaustion – Persistent depletion of energy and physical fatigue.
2. Depersonalization – Disengagement or cynicism toward work responsibilities.
3. Inefficacy – A sense of decreased professional accomplishment or productivity.

Burnout impacts organizations by reducing overall employee performance, increasing absenteeism, and fueling turnover. About 81% of employees prioritize mental health when considering future employers, making burnout prevention a key factor in attracting and retaining talent.

Why Proactively Addressing Burnout Matters

It’s not just about employee well-being; burnout has real financial consequences. Consider this:

• Burnout can cost 34% in lost productivity.
• Organizations that prioritize well-being boost productivity by up to 40% and improve employee loyalty.
• Investing in burnout prevention improves business performance, trust, and overall morale.

Using the AVP Assessment to Mitigate Burnout

TalentClick’s AVP assessment equips HR professionals and workplace leaders with actionable insights into employee behavior and resilience traits. It helps predict not only who may be at risk of burnout but also how individuals cope with workplace stress and challenges. Here’s how.

1. Identify Resiliency Traits 

The AVP assessment evaluates six traits highly predictive of resilience in your workforce:

• Calmness: Resilient employees can handle stress without becoming overwhelmed. The assessment identifies those who remain emotionally stable under pressure.
• Positivity: Employees with a naturally optimistic outlook adapt better to adversity.
• Responsibility: Highly reliable individuals persist in meeting deadlines and achieving goals, even in challenging environments.
• Open-Mindedness: Adaptable employees foster innovation and find creative solutions to problems.
• Coachability: Those open to feedback and opportunities for growth can turn struggles into learning experiences.
• Open Communication: Candid, communicative employees build essential support networks, driving teamwork and resilience.

2. Pinpoint At-Risk Employees

The AVP tool allows HR teams to flag individuals more likely to experience burnout by analyzing behavioral trends, such as:

• A tendency toward reactivity, resulting in heightened stress responses.
• Low responsibility scores, possibly leading to disengagement.
• Challenges with openness, which could contribute to resistance during workplace transitions.

When it comes to supporting employees, one size doesn’t fit all.  A personalized approach is most effective during times of stress and in proactively building resilience overall.  Using data from the assessment, managers can offer timely adjustments like redistributing workloads, providing additional resources, or implementing specific coaching strategies.

3. Preventative Strategies for Mental Wellness

AVP reports go beyond assessment, offering personalized management recommendations. These insights empower organizations to:

• Create personalized employee development plans.
• Proactively distribute responsibilities to avoid overburdening employees.
• Conduct personalized check-ins to address potential stress triggers early.
