Burnout isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a business issue. And while it might’ve trended in May, the reality is it’s not behind us. In fact, new research shows it’s only getting worse. According to the American Psychological Association, more than half of U.S. workers are stressed about job security, and only 1 in 4 strongly believe their company genuinely cares about their well-being. That’s not just concerning, it’s a call to action. At Monday Talent, we believe that combating burnout requires more than surface-level perks. It takes intentional, values-led policies that meet people where they are. That’s why we’ve built real flexibility into how we work: ☀️ 4.5-day work weeks 🧘 Monthly wellness credits 🧠 Mental health support 🕓 Flexible hours and work-from-anywhere options 👩⚕️ Reproductive care These aren’t just “nice to have” benefits; they’re how we build trust, reduce stress, and make sure our team shows up energized, engaged, and ready to grow.
