Burnout

As discussed in Katie Thomas’ article with FloQast: “Long before the pandemic, the accounting industry, in particular, had been susceptible to burnout and a general feeling of being overworked. A few years ago, I experienced this while working in public accounting. Pre-pandemic accounting professionals were burnt out, and post-pandemic, it’s only getting worse. If accounting teams want to be successful in the future, they don’t have a choice but to proactively help their employees avoid burnout while making their work more fulfilling.” So what can you do to help yourself and your team avoid burnout? Luckily a lot!
