World Health Organization calling Burnout an Occupational Phenomenon

Dr. Christina Maslach, author of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) calls it: The “Burnout Shop” As Business Model.

Human costs include:

• Long-term stress; health problems
• Physical exhaustion
• Sleep deprivation
• Disruptions of personal life
• Loss of self-worth & achievements
• Burnout
• Depression, anxiety
• Suicide

The World Health Organization is including burnout in the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases): https://www.who.int/mental_health/evidence/burn-out/en/ 
The ICD-11 burnout definition aligns with the MBI measurements, and it identifies burnout as an occupational phenomenon. For this reason, the Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) is frequently administered as a companion instrument with the MBI.

The MBI + AWS are available together as a single assessment:
