Amplio helps companies retain talent by helping them to avoid burnout. According to the World Health Organization: “Burn-out results from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions: feelings of exhaustion; increased mental apathy towards one’s job; and lack of confidence about your abilities. Burned out employees are 63% more likely to take a sick day, 2.6x more likely to be actively seeking a different job, and 13% less confident in their performance. Working with the DoD’s elite cyber units taught us what it takes for a cyber operator to stay ready in a field where a single error could mean putting the nation at risk. Living under such enormous stress is mentally taxing and can have a large physical impact. Avoiding burnout means understanding your current state and knowing how to manage your chronic stress. Ensuring that you can respond when the nation needs you.
