Burnout Risk
Burnout risk is the likelihood that sustained workload or stress will degrade a person's performance or wellbeing over time.
Example
A team member has logged unusually long hours for three consecutive weeks with no gap, a pattern worth checking in on before it shows up as a mistake or resignation.
Why it matters
Recognizing the risk before it becomes an incident allows a manager to redistribute work or adjust expectations while there's still time to prevent harm.
Limits and cautions
Hours worked is an imperfect proxy. Some sustained effort is healthy and chosen; the signal needs judgment, not a rigid threshold.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah's time tracking and workload views can surface a sustained pattern worth a manager's attention where that data is tracked.
