Some of the best burnout measures don’t cost a thing, according to Jennifer Bluestein, the chief talent officer for Perkins Coie. Bluestein said the biggest driver of burnout in 2022 is the inability for attorneys to fully unplug and recharge. Sometimes, preventing burnout could be as simple as more transparent out of office messages for internal contacts or giving a heads up in an email signature three weeks ahead of scheduled time off. Bluestein said “It’s not about getting some new in-house therapist in. It’s about allowing people time and space to actually turn off work and focus on other things in their lives.”
