As prices go up, many people struggle with mental health especially when it comes to energy costs. This form of fuel poverty can lead to employee burnout.
Employee burnout is a serious issue affecting many workers. The recent UK Burnout Report shows that 90% of employees have felt very stressed over the past year, especially among younger workers aged 18-24. This age group faces challenges like working unpaid overtime and taking on more tasks due to the rising cost of living.
This pressure can lead to anxiety and stress, especially for people in low-income households who find it harder to pay for basic needs like energy. It’s crucial for employers to support their workers during these tough times.

To help with these challenges, RES runs the Employee Energy Advice Programme. This free service teaches employees how to save energy at workand at home, easing some of their financial burdens. By giving workers the tools to manage their energy use, we aim to create a healthier work environment for everyone.
