What is burnout costing your business?

February 23, 20261 min read

In Australia alone:

•$14 billion per year is lost to burnout-related absenteeism.

•59% of employees report work-related mental distress.

•Poor mental health costs workplaces up to $936 million per day.

•“Languishing” employees account for up to $43 billion in lost productivity.

That’s not only a performance problem, its a well-being issue.

In nearly 20 years working with high-performing teams, I see the same pattern:

15–20% carry the load. The rest fluctuate in energy, skill, engagement, and output.

The usual fix? Financial incentives or top down pressure.

That’s the trap.

High performers on average burnout after 3 years at the coal face without growth or role evolution. When energy declines, performance follows.

That’s why I built The Passion Meter™️— a 10-ring free energy system designed to combat burnout and compound build sustainable energy and performance.

When three or more core areas slip, energy erodes. When they’re strong, performance compounds.

I've embedded this framework into global brands and some of Australia's most dynamic companies. It works!
