Burnout Prevention & Recovery

Burnout is no longer a personal issue—it’s a systemic business risk. In the UK alone, stress, depression, and anxiety accounted for over 57% of all work-related illness in 2023, with burnout now recognised by the World Health Organization as an occupational phenomenon. If left unaddressed, it will:

The cost of this inaction to UK employers is an estimated £28 billion a year in lost productivity and staff turnover alone ( Deloitte).

Despite this, many organisations continue to treat burnout reactively—focusing on individuals rather than addressing the structural causes embedded in culture, leadership behaviours, and day-to-day workload expectations. 

By tackling burnout early, organisations can create a healthier, more confident, and more engaged workforce to retain their top talent.

Here is what our clients say......

Warner Leisure Hotels “An outstanding presentation, delivering science talk but making it brilliantly engaging and bringing it to life. The audiences have been gripped, and that was apparent with an extended Q & A. We have enjoyed working with Your Work Wellness to bring healthy eating to the forefront and see a culture change within the business.”

EY “Thank you to Kumud and her team for an excellent series of wellbeing presentations, often presenting complex topics and making them easy to understand and easy to implement with a great range of recipes to be able to put things into practice. We have had great feedback from teams and have seen healthy changes across all areas of the organisation.”

Karl Storz “The well-being of our employees is now the biggest priority in our organisation to ensure we have the people that will drive our business to growth and profitability. Your Work Wellness and The Cooking Academy have played an instrumental role in this journey with presentations throughout the year, workshops, and most importantly the Flourish & Thrive program that has seen the biggest improvement in our sickness and absenteeism numbers. It has been a pleasure to see the people in the business thoroughly engaged in their health and well-being through better choices and improved fitness. I feel very proud that we have taken a leap of faith to invest in something that has created a win win for everyone, including the families of our employees, which is something that has given everyone a great sense of belonging and commitment. Thank you for helping us to create this momentum.”
