Abstract: Through a descriptive literature review, the objective of this study was to present relevant contributions from the Human Resources sector to preventing and combating Burnout and understanding how its actions can contribute not only to organizational performance, but above all to quality life and mental health of employees. Burnout results from specific work-related stress. It is an occupational syndrome characterized by overwhelming feelings of emotional exhaustion, negativity towards work and lack of personal fulfillment. Burnout, although originally explored in the medical and psychiatric professions, has become alarmingly prevalent in a variety of professions and industries. Employee burnout is widespread, harmful and costly to human life, corporate profits and society – especially during a crisis.
