Mental Health at Risk: A Study of Burnout Syndrome in a Textile Company

Effective management of human talent is vital for business success, and prioritizing the health and well-being of employees is an essential component of this management. Unfortunately, in the 21st century, psychosocial risks at work have become increasingly prevalent, leading to severe mental health issues in workers and negatively impacting productivity and the economy as a whole. This study aims to assess the prevalence of psychosocial risks in a textile company with a workforce of 50 employees. The findings reveal that 37.21% of workers experience high levels of fatigue, 46.51% exhibit depersonalization, and 62.79% have low personal fulfillment. Overall, 48.9% of employees were identified as suffering from severe to extreme burnout syndrome, highlighting the urgent need for corrective measures. The proposed solutions include training in emotional management skills, effective communication, and creating a healthy and balanced work environment. This study highlights the importance of companies prioritizing the health and well-being of their employees to maximize productivity and profitability.
