Burnout among behavior analysts is a pressing issue, with heavy caseloads, emotional demands, and workplace challenges contributing to stress, burnout, reduced job satisfaction and work engagement, poor work-life balance, and turnover. Rather than placing the burden solely on the individual employee, this presentation examines burnout as a shared responsibility among employees, employers, and organizational culture. Drawing on research, I will provide an overview of key organizational, individual, and systemic factors that contribute to burnout among behavior analysts. I will discuss the roles of workload expectations, workplace support, leadership practices, and organizational culture, as well as personal strategies for resilience and boundary-setting. Additionally, evidence-based solutions for preventing and mitigating burnout at all levels—individual, employer, and organizational—will be discussed. By the end of this presentation, participants will be equipped with practical advice to advocate for healthier work environments, implement self-care strategies, and collaborate on systemic changes that promote sustainability in the field of behavior analysis.
