Companies that have not focused earlier on the condition burn-out, ought to initiate an ”immediately course of action”. When this course is well-established, a plan of strategy should be composed for long-term prevention of burn-out.

Immediately course of action:

• Awareness:
• for easier detection of burn-out, the management and employees should be taught about the condition, and its symptoms
• A plan of strategy for the course of action that is executed when a burn-out is revealed.

Plan of strategy and long-term actions:

• Get an overview over:
• burn-out (and stress) among the leaders and employees
• factors that result in stress, overload and burn-out
• Prevetion of burn-out:
• actions to reduce the effect of the factors
• general actions that all companies should induct
• Educate leaders and employees in the plan of strategy and actions

Private circumstances and personality can also contribute to burn-out. But actions directed only towards employees, for instance stress coping course, usually only have temporary effect. For long-term prevention, actions on company level are also needed.
