When top performers burn out, compensation strategy suffers. Retention assumptions break down, pay-for-performance models lose their accuracy, and equity decisions get made by exhausted managers. According to Gallup's State of the Global Workplace 2024, nearly half of employees in the US and Canada report experiencing daily stress at work, directly impacting the quality of workforce decisions. This session reframes burnout as a Total Rewards risk, not just a wellbeing issue. Participants will identify three early performance signals of burnout, understand how cognitive fatigue distorts compensation decision-making, and leave with practical strategies to protect workforce capacity while sustaining business performance.
