A workplace burnout risk check for HR leaders.
Answer 12 questions based on what you can observe across your team. You will get a planning score across four workplace areas, plus a practical place to start. This is not a diagnosis or an employee survey.
Illustration only. Your result reflects one leader’s observations and is not a company benchmark.
Turn a general concern into a useful conversation.
Burnout can be hard to discuss when the evidence is scattered across workload, time off, team behaviour, and leadership habits. This check helps you organize what you have noticed. It cannot tell you how every employee feels, so the next step should still include confidential listening.
Quick to complete
Twelve plain-language questions for an HR or People leader who knows the team’s working conditions.
Workplace areas
Workload and boundaries, energy and recovery, connection and outlook, and leadership support.

Your summary
A useful place to start
Remember: this score reflects one leader’s observations. Use it to plan confidential listening and review working conditions, not to label employees or make employment decisions.
Four areas that can reveal workplace strain.
These are practical observation areas, not validated clinical dimensions. Burnout is an occupational phenomenon associated with chronic workplace stress, and no short form completed by one leader can confirm it across a team.
Workload & Boundaries
After-hours work, unused time off, and whether assigned work is realistically achievable.
Energy & Recovery
What people say about exhaustion, recovery after busy periods, and having enough capacity to work well.
Connection & Outlook
Visible withdrawal, cynicism, collaboration, overwhelm, and connection to teammates and purpose.
Leadership & Support
Psychological safety around concerns, leaders’ boundaries, and whether the organization changes conditions when strain appears.
Use the result to ask better questions.
A higher score does not prove burnout. It means your observations justify a closer look at working conditions and employee experience.
- Review workload, staffing, priorities, and after-hours expectations.
- Invite confidential employee feedback rather than assuming the score speaks for the team.
- Use existing EAP, occupational-health, or crisis procedures when someone may need qualified support.
- Recheck after structural decisions to see whether the same signs remain visible.
What this score can and cannot tell you.
It can help you
- Organize workplace observations into four areas.
- Notice where you lack information.
- Prepare more specific questions for employees and leaders.
- Choose a practical starting point for review.
It cannot
- Diagnose burnout or any health condition.
- Represent every employee’s experience.
- Replace an anonymous employee survey or qualified assessment.
- Prove that Fegud or any other program is the right intervention.
