From Performative Perks to Sustainable Wellbeing and Performance (Cairnmillar Institute)

Cairnmillar Institute article by Dr Tom Hammond arguing that perks and individually focused wellbeing initiatives have not moved average employee wellbeing, citing a study of roughly 46,000 workers, and that wellbeing is a structural outcome of how work is designed, how leaders behave, and how performance is defined and rewarded. Free to read.

Published

Humin (formerly Healthy Minds Innovations)

Nonprofit founded on Dr. Richard J. Davidson's wellbeing research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The free Healthy Minds Program app teaches awareness, connection, insight and purpose through short guided practices, alongside a free Emotional Style Quiz. The organisation also sells courses, workplace programs and paid research services, and takes donations.

Why I recommend it: The app is free with no paid tier inside it, which is rare here — worth having if burnout is part of your job search. Two honest flags: the courses, workplace programs and retreat studies on the same site are paid, and much of the evidence cited is the founder's own research group examining its own program, so read outcome claims as promising rather than settled.

The Cure for Burnout Is Learning

New challenges can help leaders overcome burnout by re-engaging curiosity and skill-building.

From the site: New challenges can help leaders overcome burnout.

Doomscrolling, Drama, and Dopamine Hits: How Hooked Is Each Generation on Social Media

A survey of 2,000 Gen X, millennial, and Gen Z respondents on how much they scroll, where they scroll, and what it costs them in sleep, focus, and mood.

Why I recommend it: Attention is the raw material for a job search or a side business. Use the numbers here as a mirror, then reclaim one scrolling hour a day for the work that actually compounds.

The New Burnout Isn't About Working Too Much

Fast Company on meaning-based burnout: exhaustion that comes from work that feels pointless rather than work that is simply heavy.

Why I recommend it: Details: if rest is not fixing your burnout, the problem may be the work itself — that is a signal to look at a pivot, not a vacation.
