Burnout Symptom Screener

The two Burnout Symptom Screener tests will assess whether a non-service person is at risk of developing burnout, and whether a person working in the service industry is at risk of developing burnout. 

There are 2 different Brief Mental Health Evaluation assessments available:

1. Burnout Symptom Screener – Non Service Fields – will assess whether a person is at risk of developing burnout. This test is designed for people in industries other than service.
2. Burnout Symptom Screener – Service Fields – will assess whether a person working in the service industry is at risk of developing burnout.

What It’s Best Used For

This screener is primarily designed for Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), corporate wellness initiatives, and counseling environments to track psychological strain and guide early preventative support.

• Evaluating the Non-Service Track: The Non-Service battery evaluates an employee’s overall burnout risk alongside five specific scales: General Exhaustion, Emotional Exhaustion, Coping Skills, Job Control, and Job Satisfaction.
• Evaluating the Service Industry Track: The Service Fields battery shifts focus to client-facing realities, measuring six core dimensions: Feeling Overwhelmed, Detachment, Job Fulfillment, Energy, Fatigue, and physical signs of stress.
• Measuring Somatic Reactions: The service-centric version explicitly screens for the presence of physical stress symptoms to catch advanced corporate fatigue before it causes severe health or attendance issues.
• Delivering Targeted Developmental Feedback: Employers and counselors instantly receive a comprehensive report featuring score graphs, narrative interpretations, a clear breakdown of specific “areas of concern,” and actionable advice.
