#The first day of work after the holiday #The first working day after the holiday, ushered in the "bad news" of #2021 holiday all end#, although Xiaobian has taken a day's shift in advance, it is still in the work state adjustment period after the small long holiday. Here are two pieces of news to tell you:
The bad news – this year's statutory holidays are all over.
Good news – 23 days remaining in 2021 for the weekend to be closed.
Every small long holiday, many workers will have a "holiday syndrome" - after going to work, there will be low work efficiency, difficulty concentrating, loss of appetite, physical and mental weakness, listlessness and other situations. In the face of such a situation, we can prevent it in advance, slowly adjust it, and restore our enthusiasm for work as soon as possible.
Workers will not only have a "holiday syndrome" after a small and long holiday, but also face a "burnout period". Sometimes, you may feel that you are intermittently angry and persistently "animalistic". (Referring to the fact that there are too many things to worry about social animals, every day is full of worries, and the psychological shadow area is too large to calculate)
Perhaps, you are a little "tired".
But some fatigue at work is a common human feeling, what kind of burnout, is "burnout"?
01
Am I "burnout"?
"Burnout" is not a medical diagnosis, and some experts believe that other conditions, such as depression, are the causes behind burnout. Some studies have shown that many people who experience symptoms of burnout do not believe their work is the primary cause. Whatever the reason, burnout can affect your work status and even your physical and mental health.
Depending on your actual situation, in the last three months you have:
Loss of enthusiasm for work, irritability and irritability;
Hopeless about their future, believing that it is difficult for them to develop in the future;
Lack of interest, indifferent to the people and things around them;
Feel that your work has no meaning and no value;
It is easy to feel impatient with colleagues and customers, and inexplicably want to be angry;
Difficulty concentrating on work;
Easy to insomnia at night, or sleep quality declines, and there is no energy in the morning;
If you have two or more of the above, you may be experiencing burnout.
Burnout refers to the state of physical and mental fatigue and exhaustion of an individual under the pressure of work. First proposed by F reudenberger in 1974, M aslach et al. called psychological syndromes that result from responding to long-term emotional and interpersonal stressors at work called burnout.
How common is burnout? According to the 2020 Public Mental Health Insights Report, nearly 60% of respondents are experiencing varying degrees of burnout.
It is generally believed that the causes of burnout come from both external occupational characteristics and the characteristics of the organization in which the individual is located; it also stems from the high expectations, low effort level, and low self-confidence of individuals for work.
In general, the impact of the external environment accounts for a relatively large proportion.
When there is no sense of fun and achievement in work, and you do not match the values of the organization, work will make people extra emotionally exhausted;
When work cannot be supported and rewarded, and efforts cannot be affirmed and rewarded, people will be rejected for slackness in work;
When you can't get enough respect and recognition in the workplace, fair salary and promotion, then you will inevitably feel overwhelmed in social comparisons.
Therefore, people began to reject work, but naked words are not rational choices, so the workers sitting on the workstation, the brain began to reject, the body is still forced to work, it is tired.

I'm tired, what should I do?
When we understand the definition and causes of "burnout", we can find a solution.
1. Reasonable "touching the fish", combining work and leisure
Golden autumn october, it is the autumn recruitment, we often say that looking for a job to find their own interest, otherwise it is difficult to stick to it. But in reality, there aren't many jobs that combine interest and salary. When we encounter work content that is not very interesting to us, coupled with the tiredness of working for a long time and the continuous work pressure, it is inevitable that there will be negative emotions such as avoidance and boredom at work.
At this time, reasonable "touching the fish" can alleviate this problem to a certain extent.
The "fishing" here is not a perfunctory work, but a routine work interspersed with something that interests us. For example, when you go to the toilet with a salary, browse some interesting current affairs news and cutting-edge information; in the established work arrangement, interspersed with doing something that can relax yourself; when working overtime, order a takeaway that you like to eat or watch a series that you are chasing, and so on.
Through some content that interests you and can relax yourself, you can release the pressure brought by work and relieve the tension brought by the task, thereby reducing the burnout of the existing work.
From another point of view, when you like nail art DIY, thinking that you can work for another hour to make a beautiful nail, is there a motivation to complete the current work?
2. Feedback upwards and seek help
When your burnout comes from a team with complex relationships or a harsh and demanding leader, you can give appropriate upward feedback.
Teamwork requires not only common goals, but also the cooperation of the members of the team. When there are differences of opinion or even contradiction in the team, the team members will not align, which will lead to more problems and fall into a vicious circle. Leaders who are too harsh and harsh are often the source of fear and pressure on the work of hit workers.
In this regard, you can give appropriate upward feedback and make constructive suggestions. However, if the leader does not adopt it, or you think that you do not match the values of the team, you can also consider applying for a team change, appropriately changing the external environment, which will help adjust your work status.
3. Adjust the track and consider job hopping
When you feel like the job you're doing is already boring and tired, you can consider switching tracks and looking outside for other opportunities. After all, trees are dead, people are moving, and you can always find a job that suits you more.

Employees are tired, what to do?
Social psychologist Christina Maslach divides the symptoms of burnout into three dimensions:
Emotional exhaustion refers to the "tired heart" caused by excessive work;
Depersonalization refers to the apathetic and cynical attitude caused by professional work;
The loss of a sense of accomplishment refers to the sense of powerlessness that comes from doubting the value of one's work.
From the perspective of the enterprise, we can try to start from the motivation needs of employees and use appropriate incentive plans to drive employees' enthusiasm for work.
1. Understand the needs and implement incentives
Perhaps HR will gradually find that it is becoming more and more difficult to retain people simply by raising salaries, which is behind the company's lack of in-depth understanding of personal needs, various treatments and other reasons.
When the traditional incentive methods and tools are not very powerful, the company needs to find a set of methods and tools that can solve the above problems, and first needs to have a thorough understanding of the motivational needs of the candidates and internal employees.
For example, through the motivation assessment, from the eight dimensions of work, honor, health, enjoyment, wealth, power, emotion, and innovation, the motivation needs of the testee are understood. Only by understanding and satisfying a person's motivational needs can he gain the desire and motivation to work in the excitement and satisfaction. Without understanding the needs of others, it is impossible to personalize them and be more passive in management.
For example, if an employee's motivation assessment results are healthy and emotional, and the company continues to give only money and verbal praise incentives, without paying attention to the balance between his life and work, it will lead to a sluggish work status, which is likely to lead to departure in the long run.
2. Focus on potential and career planning
In the 2020 Public Mental Health Insights Report, 61.98% of respondents said that they rarely felt that they had done something valuable at work, and their sense of accomplishment was low.
Based on this, enterprises may wish to start from their personal ability, help employees dig deep into their own potential, scientifically evaluate their career advantages and ability to develop, and on this basis, help employees clarify their career development direction, and jointly formulate personalized career development plans.
Through the scientific assessment of the ability of employees in all aspects, enterprises can not only understand whether the current personnel and position allocation is reasonable, but also to a certain extent, scientifically estimate the future performance of employees, not only at the micro level, but also at the macro level of human resources inventory, to understand the current situation of human resources of enterprises.
Set a more reasonable career development plan for employees, help enterprises further improve the talent training plan, create a talent team with enterprise characteristics and adapt to the development strategy of the enterprise, and help enterprises develop better.
Finally, share a story:
A woman complained to a counselor that she suddenly couldn't find the meaning of her job after working for many years at the top, so she resigned and started from scratch to devote herself to another industry, but lost her initial enthusiasm two or three years later:
"While I know my job is really valuable, I do the same thing every day and quickly get tired. Is there any work that feels fresh every day? ”
The psychological counselor replied to her: "If you want to explore new fields forever, you can only do daily research for scholars, but when you really do it, you will find that the daily work of scholars is also very boring."
Work is like a big mountain, the mountain is always there, you can't change the mountain, you can only change yourself who looks at the mountain.
Migrant workers do not have to force themselves to "love their work", but for their own bread and smiles, they must also learn to generate more positive emotions and learn to live in peace with work.
Come on, hit the workers!
