No, none.
What … so … ever.
Well …
… research over the last 40 years* has highlighted 6 major areas of workplace life which can lead to burnout.
These are they:
1 Workload
Sometimes job demands exceed human limits and resources to fulfil the requirements.
2 Control
A sense of personal autonomy in the workplace is vital.
3 Reward
Insufficient reward (whether financial, institutional, or social) increases our vulnerability to burnout.
4 Community
The overall quality of social interaction at work is key.
This includes issues of conflict, mutual support, closeness and the capacity to work as a team.
5 Fairness
It’s important that decisions affecting us in the workforce are perceived as being fair and equitable.
6 Values
The aspirations that originally attracted people to their jobs need to be nurtured.
They’re the main motivating connections between worker and workplace.
Maybe do a quick burnout self-audit?
