The Impact of Compassion Fatigue and Moral Injury on Employee Productivity and Retention

Last Updated on 19 April, 2023

Compassion fatigue is characterized by emotional exhaustion and a reduced ability to empathize. The symptoms of compassion fatigue include despair, anxiety, guilt, and physical symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, muscle tension, etc.

Compassion fatigue can significantly impact a workplace, especially for employees with past traumatic experiences or suffering. As a result, they become less motivated, less productive, and less decisive in work-related issues.
