Project Summary

Burnout manifests itself in reduced productivity and may lead to total exhaustion, apathy and some other psychosomatic
disorders. For years they were leading an active life
without routine, with many changes, challenges and stimulation. In the process of searching for a first
non-student job they re full of hope, ideas, values and beliefs. Once being shortlisted and selected
they start struggling with the second shock: entirely new order of the day/week, routine. In this phase
we can observe process of matching between X and Y generations and more experienced employees, testing their
boundaries and assessing new resources. After some time we can define the next milestone on the
path leading to work burnout: 2. Uncertain or respectively negative future prospects After time of a
full performance and effort put in the first months or years of work in the bigger structure start feeling routine and
,,deadlock” on a one position which does not correspond to their view of work, foregoing experience
and expectations. These groups starts to feel frustration, apathy, negativity, routine leads to the bad habits
and forgetting of the healthy diet and mental hygiene. In consequence batterry of symptoms lead to
the diagnosis of clinical depression or other psychological disorders like neurosis.

Needs of the group defined on the basis of our
research carried by pilot poll among 360 corporation workers in 3 partnering countries said in 3 partnering
countries tells much about the lack of complex solutions for the burnout symptoms what adults usually
ignore due to overburden of duties or do not relate with all the factors defined by WHO.
