Fourteen questions, two minutes, no name. The burnout questions are the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, the scale used in most workplace burnout research since 2005. The connection questions are ours.
About you, so results can be grouped
We never ask for a name or email. These three answers let us compare, say, people in tech with people in healthcare.

Scores run 0 to 100. The red line at 50 is the threshold the Copenhagen inventory uses for burnout on the two exhaustion scales. On the connection scale, higher is better.
Running this for a team? Send the link to everyone, then ask us for the anonymous aggregate: burnout by department and how connected your people feel. That is the brief we design a team event around.
This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. If you're finding things hard, a doctor or your company's employee assistance programme is the right next step.
Where the questions come from
Personal and work burnout items: Kristensen, Borritz, Villadsen and Christensen (2005), The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory: a new tool for the assessment of burnout, Work & Stress, 19(3). The inventory is free to use. Connection items are written by us and draw on Gallup's finding that having a close friend at work predicts engagement, and on research linking workplace belonging to lower burnout (for example Schaufeli and Bakker's job demands-resources work, where social support is a core resource).
