More than half of full-time workers in Ireland are experiencing burnout, according to a new survey, with charity and healthcare workers reporting the highest stress levels, while those in the health and beauty sector are the least overwhelmed.

The research, which surveyed over 1,000 full-time employees across the country, assessed their stress levels, their primary causes of that stress and how it impacted their performance in work.
