From Burnout to Balance
Why Coaching Is a Must-Have in Today’s Workplace
The modern workplace is evolving - but not fast enough to keep up with the pressure it places on people. Rising demands, blurred boundaries and emotional fatigue have fuelled a silent epidemic: burnout.
And it’s not just individuals who are feeling it. Businesses are too - in the form of lost productivity, high turnover and a disengaged workforce.
So how do we shift from burnout to balance?
Enter coaching.
Burnout in the UK: The Alarming Reality
The numbers are stark:
-1 in 5 UK workers say they feel unable to manage pressure and stress at work (CIPD Health and Wellbeing at Work Report, 2023).
-The leading cause of long-term sickness absence is stress, anxiety or depression — affecting nearly 60% of organisations.
-Mental health issues cost UK employers up to £56 billion a year (Deloitte, 2022).
Burnout isn’t a buzzword - it’s a business issue. And it’s time we started treating it as one.
Coaching as a Strategic Solution
At Moco Coaching, we know that coaching is not a perk - it’s a proactive investment in your people’s wellbeing.
Coaching helps employees:
✅ Recognise signs of burnout early
✅ Rebuild clarity, boundaries and purpose
✅ Reduce stress through mindset and habit shifts
✅ Feel seen, supported and resilient
Unlike crisis interventions, coaching works upstream - supporting people before they reach breaking point.
What Burnout Actually Looks Like
Burnout isn’t always dramatic. It often appears subtly, like:
-Constant fatigue, even after rest
-Lack of motivation or joy in work
-Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
-Increased irritability or withdrawal
-Feeling like nothing you do is “enough”
These aren’t personal failings. They’re signs that something needs to shift - and coaching helps facilitate that shift.
