In our most recent blog, MYTH: Patient Leads Come to an All Time Low During Summer, we talked about the infamous “summer slump” that affects most aesthetic services (from a business perspective), as well as patients and their willingness to handle all business-related matters at this time. During summer, many people are focused on having fun — beachy getaways, relaxing by the pool, and just enjoying the warm weather. So naturally, who’s focused on scheduling their next hormone therapy, tattoo removal, or other aesthetic appointment?
Now that “summer slump” doesn’t just apply to summer, and it doesn’t only involve a seasonal decrease in clientele. Physician and employee burnout can happen at any time during the year, although it is most common during summer (when most people are focused on taking vacation time) or winter (when cold, gloomy weather tends to make people feel sad and overall less motivated to be productive). According to Mayo Clinic, you can recognize the signs of job burnout by asking yourself these key questions:
Burnout for those working in aesthetic services is an all-too-common occurrence, but once you realize you may be experiencing burnout, what happens next?
Burnout can be caused by a variety of factors such as work-life imbalance, dysfunctional dynamics with other coworkers, highly monotonous or chaotic environments, or feeling as though you lack control in your schedule and/or assignments. Whether you resonate with one, two, or all of these telltale signs of work burnout, what immediately comes to mind is “Well, how can I fix all of these issues?”
