Sales Burnout & Wellbeing Self-Check

Ten quick questions on workload, sleep, quota anxiety, manager support, and time off - scored against occupational-health benchmarks to flag early burnout risk before it shows up as missed numbers, sick days, or a resignation. Answer based on the last 4 weeks, not your best week. Nothing here is saved or sent anywhere - it all runs in your browser.

Your numbers

Include admin, prep, and after-hours email/calls, not just meetings.
Full days off work, not weekends - check your HR/leave tracker if unsure.

Method & assumptions

  • Built from constructs used in the Maslach Burnout Inventory (emotional exhaustion, cynicism, reduced efficacy) and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, condensed into a 10-item screen for target-driven sales roles - this is a self-awareness tool, not a clinical or diagnostic instrument.
  • Workload and quota anxiety are weighted highest (25% each) in the overall score, reflecting occupational-health research that high-demand, low-control roles carry elevated burnout risk.
  • The leave-taken benchmark (~10 days per 6 months) is based on roughly half the UK statutory minimum annual leave entitlement (28 days/yr including bank holidays).
  • A High result is a prompt to talk to your manager, HR, or a GP/occupational health service - not a medical diagnosis, and not something to try to fix through willpower alone.

How to use it

Answer all ten questions based on the last 4 weeks (not your single hardest week), then fill in your average weekly hours and how much leave you've actually taken in the last 6 months. Everything recalculates instantly and stays in your browser - nothing is saved, logged, or sent anywhere, so it's safe to use privately or as a starting point for a manager-led team check-in (each person runs it individually).
