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.
