While our society is experiencing a wellness wave, it’s simultaneously digging it’s heels into hustle culture. And with the help of technology it’s easier than ever to constantly be ‘on’.  So, it should be no surprise that the World Health Organization added burnout to its International Classification of Diseases this year, meaning it is now a diagnosable condition. 

And the stats don’t lie. A whopping 23% of employees report feeling burnout at work very often or always, while an additional 44% reported feeling it sometimes. It’s now more important than ever to have conversations around how two very counterintuitive things, technology and wellness, can coexist. It may seem impossible but these women are here to provide insight on how we can start pressing the reset button before we completely burnout.
