Burnout Is Breaking the Events Industry, Here’s the $1T Truth

Burnout Is Breaking the Events Industry – Here’s the $1T Truth

What is burnout, “The World Health Organisation reports work-related stress costs the global economy over $1 trillion annually in lost productivity”1

Behind this statistic are real humans, one of them being my Dad.

I vividly remember my Dad working long shifts, night shifts with a smile on his face. But, I could see how it was taking a toll on him. I could see the toll without him having to vocalise it; it was in his eyes. 

From type 2 diabetes, to injections to daily tablets.

To a stroke; a brain bleed.

And now, end-stage dementia at 60 years old!

Cause. Unmanaged stress.

Ultimately, putting genetics to the side, the reality is that prolonged unmanaged stress2 can become the foundation for very serious health issues.

Because of this, I’m building Wedo Planner for wedding planners, producers, event planners and vendors to protect those behind the scenes.

What are the unspoken health risks behind the wedding Industry?

Endless admin with proposals, invoices and contract management.

Perfectionist expectations.

Yet, we know this just isn’t sustainable.

Also, according to Gallup, 76% professionals report burnout. 3

Despite this, can we pinpoint the cause?

Yes. For instance,

Health IssueWork-Related Issue
BurnoutLong hours and overload4
High blood pressureConstant pressure, deadlines 
Insomnia Poor boundaries and mental overstimulation
AnxietyPoor workflows

Indeed, in an ideal world, we would aim to minimise exposure to these challenges. However, true strength lies in how we handle these matters, and the most effective way to do so is by adopting a proactive approach with a CRM.
