Hey Product Hunt, I’m Marcos, co-founder of Yerbo, the creators of Burnout Index 2.0.
When we created the original Burnout Index we wanted to help tech workers to tackle their burnout risk before it was too late for them. And then the pandemic hit.
Over the last couple of years, we saw hybrid and remote settings become the standard, and every type of digital worker went through the Burnout Index.
Over 200,000 individuals used the Burnout Index 1.0. That’s the largest dataset of burnout risk in the industry.
So we decided that it was high time to launch a new and improved version!
Because burnout risk is just one side of the coin, we’ve added work-engagement to the assessment, and with it you’ll get your position on the Mental Zone matrix. This way you’ll learn if you’re in the: burned-out; bored-out; strained; or engaged mental state.
Oh, and for our amigos we’ve also added Spanish and Portuguese language to the tool. So you can now check your burnout risk in your own idioma ;)
We’ve seen a lot of progress in the last years in terms of burnout awareness and openness to discuss it. But there’s still a long way to go.
We believe that we must commit to being the last generation that took burnout to be an unavoidable consequence of working in a high-performing environment.
We’d love to hear your feedback and feature suggestions that you think could help raise burnout awareness or tackle well-being issues. Please leave your comment below :)
Lastly, thanks so much to @chrismessina for hunting us once again and helping share the word on burnout prevention!
PS: We’ve created Yerbo.co, a mental well-being management platform so that managers and ICs can prevent well-being issues at the team level. Let us know in the comments if you want to learn more about Yerbo.
@fares_aktouf Thank you Fares! Congrats to the team that made it possible and to the community that is actively involved :)
@marcos_sponton @francisco_mendes congratulations, admire your results in this very challenging, but very important domain!
Love this!! Just took it and i think for the first time in my life, I'm actually not at risk of burnout!! Going to encourage my team to take this too and share on Twitter!
@britt_joiner I'm very glad your burnout risk is lower than expected! Come back in a few weeks to check again so you don't let it go out of control. And thank you so much for spreading the word! Let us know if you have any suggestions or concerns!
Congrats on the launch, team! We need to take agency on our own mental health and boundaries, and managers need to create and support the right environment to protect their teams.
@marsnegrette thanks so much, fellow entrepreneur! We need to keep the momentum going and make sure we don't lose all the progress that was made in the past few years in terms of burnout awareness and openness to talk about well-being in the workplace. Thank you for championing burnout prevention and active mental well-being care!
Wellbeing at work is critical for us and should be for any team, group or organization! So will be using this and sharing it with our team as an exercise. Probably before my one to ones and see where everyone is at. Interesting service as well with Yerbo.
@florin_biro thanks so much for your feedback! We've actually created a tool precisely to help managers and ICs have more meaningful 1:1s driven by the team's wellbeing data from Yerbo's insights. Let me know if want to know more!
btw, do you think we can make it? :-D https://www.producthunt.com/disc...
Amazing what you guys have built. I have been following the Burnout Index 1.0 since 2019 and I am excited to see what's next.
Thanks for giving visibility and relevance to one of the main and most underrated problems for managers and HR departments around the world.
@alvaro_moya_lidr thanks so much, Alvaro! It's our responsibility as founders and leaders to make sure we empower our mid-managers and ICs so that they can tackle burnout at the team level!
😂I think my fear of taking this test may be an indication that I'm prob nearing / beyond the burn out point...
Hi Marcos!
Just took the test. Going to share it with my co-founder and team as well.
We're working on bringing an early stage SaaS to the market soon and it's definitely been a stressful period for all of us. But high performance shouldn't come at the cost of emotional wellbeing.
I'm currently in the 'strained' state of the mental zone matrix but it's good to be able to quantify it. You can't improve what you can't measure, right?
I found the questions related to depersonalization quite revelationary. Didn't really think that my low empathy these days (a characteristic that I highly value) could be a symptom of burnout.
Very simple assessment with useful takeaways. Kudos to you and the team!
Thank you @kuhu_krishna and congratulations! Many times we think that everything is under control and then we realized there are some unknown unknowns under the hood. Using validated protocols to be aware is a good starting point. And you're doing the right thing: sharing is caring :) Mental well-being needs to be community-driven. That's why this launch in public is extremely important too!
@kuhu_krishna thanks so much for your feedback Kuhu! And I can tell you that entrepreneur burnout is something that we've been focusing on lately and there are some tools that we'll be launching soon, so look out for future announcements from Yerbo ;)
your product and the way you present it and the seamless introduction for teams is brilliant, I like the experience
This idea is incredible. We need to normalize looking after our mental health in all our areas of life, and we spend most of our time at work. I did the questions and the result description and graphics were very insightful. Good job!
@pawvazquez thank you for sharing your experience, Paula. Let us know if there's anything that you think could be improved, and feel free to share the tool with friends and family so they too can be aware of their burnout risk. Take care
Congrats on the launch! Fantastic idea, can't wait to finally try it and get rid of my burnouts!) Thank you!
The test gave me a pretty accurate diagnostic of how I feel now at my work. Let's get something done with this! Thank you
In our population of IT workers, we find that sometimes those who burn out the most have done so without realizing it, being highly engaged with their work until they lost control and burned out.
Our purpose with this new version of the burnout index is to help people prevent that kind of situation.
Yerbo's Burnout Index is Key!! I've been using it in my "How to avoid Burnout" in Tech Workshops. The participants always get surprised to discover that they can measure their risk of burnout and learn smart ways to deal with it.
@jj_ruescas thanks so much for your support and for being such a champion of burnout awareness!
@frcbls that's very true and that's why we create these free tools, so thank you for helping spread awareness of this problem!
I loved. It's very important to added Spanish and Portuguese language to the tool. Congrats to the team !!!!
This will help a lot of employees improve the way they feel at work by realising where they actually stand on this test, but will also help them or their employers be able to take actions on an earlier stage. Great job team!
@jefawk that's a very valid concern, the tool was created mostly for full-time workers, but it makes sense to think of a solution for independent contractors, freelancers, solopreneurs and founders. Let me know if you'd like to take part in discovery sessions in the future and we'll reach out!
