The BenefitsPRO article outlines five tips for employers to help employees successfully manage mental health and reduce feelings of burnout through physical activity:
- Help employees define boundaries and timing for self-care, exercise, and nutrition.
- Cover all elements of physical fitness.
- Celebrate wellbeing wins.
- Unite employees in a common goal.

Employers who wish to reduce burnout in their workforce need a multifaceted approach. An important first step, though, includes supporting employees’ physical fitness.
