Preventing Ethical Burnout: Protecting Your Team’s Integrity Under Pressure

  • Ethical burnout can occur when workplace stress affects employees’ ability to uphold their values, making it crucial for leaders to recognize and address this issue.
  • Rising commercial pressures can lead to ethical lapses; leaders should set realistic goals and promote open communication to prevent this.
  • Creating a culture of psychological safety helps combat “survival mode” thinking, allowing employees to focus on integrity rather than self-preservation.
  • Decision fatigue in high-pressure environments can weaken ethical decision-making; leaders should encourage thoughtful consideration and provide decision-making frameworks.
