A study by Dina Lahlou, executive holistic coach and expert in burn-out highlights an emerging issue but still too treated in Moroccan organizations: mental and emotional health of executives, managers and entrepreneurs.
Carried out with more than 160 executives and entrepreneurs from different sectors, the investigation reveals that:
– 82 % were confronted, directly or via a loved one, with a burnout,
– 62 % personally crossed it,
– 71 % declare that they have had access to no clear prevention or support system within their structure.
A sustainable performance issue, at the heart of ESG and CSR commitments
Before burnout settles down, body and mind send alert signals: chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, irritability, anxiety, unexplained physical pain. Often trivialized, these indicators are the beginnings of imbalances which can lead to chronic pathologies such as cardiovascular or other diseases.
They do not reflect an individual fragility, but a structural imbalance in our lifestyle within professional environments. The ESG – CSR criteria and managerial practices benefit from integrating these dimensions with lucidity, as an essential pillar for a truly durable performance.
In France, for example psychological disorders, whose burnout, have become the leading cause of long -term work stoppages, representing up to 24.5 % of judgments in 2023. No equivalent data is yet available in Morocco, but the absence of figures does not mean the absence of the phenomenon – quite the contrary.
Rethinking performance today, implies adopting a preventive and regenerative approach, at the service of the well-being of individuals and the sustainability of organizations. Today, there are many constant tension, and many are advancing on the edge of the rupture.
“Burnout is not a personal fragility. It is an alarm of the body and the system. It is urgent to rethink our lifestyle, and our work environments with humanity and pragmatism, ”underlines Dina Lahlou.
A campaign to move the lines
A awareness campaign is thus launched to mobilize businesses, institutions, media and citizens around a common issue: preserving human capital, a base of all dynamics of sustainable growth.
While Morocco, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI encourages an inclusive and fair development model, mental health must become a strategic axis in HR, Managerial, ESG and CSR policies.
It is these women and men who carry the projects, embody transformations and breathe change. Their commitment, their energy, their loyalty are the real engines of progress. To preserve their balance is to guarantee the sustainability and sustainability of our development.
In conclusion, Dina Lahlou recalls: “Each advance of the kingdom is carried by committed beings, moved by the love of their profession and their country. They give a lot – often too much. And yet, their mental and emotional health remains a dead angle of development policies. Human well-being is an essential condition for performance, innovation and sustainability ”.
