Burnout isn't just exhaustion. Here are some ways to deal with it

Workers across all industries have been pushed to the limits by the pandemic, with high levels of burnout and a steady increase in resignations.

According to The Wall Street Journal, companies are making creative efforts to encourage employees to take advantage of their vacations.

For instance, Citigroup has offered companywide days off with the aim of getting everyone to take a break at the same time, and PricewaterhouseCoopers is offering U.S. staffers $250 for every full week of vacation booked, up to $1,000 a year.
