Podcast: The Hidden Cost of Burnout

An episode of the VOX talks podcast with Arash Nekoei and Jósef Sigurðsson.

Burnout from work-related stress isn't just a personal struggle - it's a significant economic challenge. In this compelling episode of the VOX talks podcast, Tim Phillips delves into this recent research together with Arash Nekoei (Institute for International Economic Studies - IIES) and Jósef Sigurdsson (Department of Economics), to uncover the far-reaching consequences of burnout.

Together, they explore how burnout doesn't just affect individuals but ripples through their lives, impacting their partners, children, and even their future plans, like having a family. They also reveal the true economic burden of burnout and discuss innovative strategies to detect and combat this escalating crisis before it takes a severe toll on our society and economy.
