This Radar examines the burnout crisis across the American workforce, where more than half of workers now report experiencing the condition according to 2025 data. It covers the human and financial costs, the generational divide that is accelerating the crisis, the gap between employer awareness and action, and the regulatory landscape that currently leaves most workers without structural protections.

Who it is for

Anyone who works — especially people in management, HR, or those who have felt for a while that their exhaustion is something more than tiredness. Also relevant for business leaders tracking the economic cost of disengagement, policy watchers following the mental health regulation debate, and anyone trying to understand why so many people in the workforce feel depleted even when things look stable on the outside.
