From a very young age, we are taught the importance of having a successful career. Whether it’s our parents or a teacher, we know that by the time we reach adulthood, we will have a job. But not every job is created equal. While money may be a driving force for some individuals, true enjoyment is created by different variables. If those variables are not met, it could quickly result in employee burnout.
Employee burnout has quickly become an issue in the plumbing and mechanical industry. There is an extremely high demand for services and an extremely low supply of professional technicians. There just aren’t enough individuals in the labor force to handle the demand. The pandemic has been a catalyst for this surge. More people are working from home, which means longer run times for HVAC and plumbing systems. These added hours at home mean more service calls for repairs and replacements.
