Here's how you can help your team members overcome burnout as a non-profit manager.

Burnout looks different in each of your team members. For the extrovert, look for verbal and body language cues like quietness in meetings (in person or online), less lively facial expressions, reduced suggestions and ideas, or possibly even fewer interruptions because extroverts need interaction with others to stay energized. Burnout is more challenging to pinpoint in introverts since they are not as expressive. It can be caused by a long-term change in their routine/schedule, so stay aware of this and give them the time they need to battle their burnout by doing something to boost their creativity.

Being sensitive to each member's needs is crucial, members experiencing burnout need attention. Show empathy and understanding towards team members experiencing burnout, offering counseling and addressing the root causes of burnout such as overload works can reduce depression and eliminate burnout

Early treatments for burnout require recognition of its symptoms. You can stop burnout from getting worse by being watchful and alert to changes in behavior or attitude. This will allow you to offer prompt assistance and resources. Taking the initiative can have a big impact on how successfully your team members manage their responsibilities and maintain their mental and emotional health.

Recognize that there may be others on your team felling the same and work with your whole team on providing support, training and one to one time.
