Best Practice #4
Burnout

​What to Know
•Burnout effect is real. The more hours an engineer works, the more likely he/she is to consider leaving.
•
What to Do
•Curb the culture of long hours. Monitor hours worked by all staff, and do not encourage, require or expect long hours on a regular basis.
•Adopt policies (such as overtime pay or comp time) to improve engagement during periods of high work load.
