Here's how you can prevent burnout among application developers through company culture.

1. Create a strong software engineering culture where engineers feel appreciated for their technical excellence 2. Create learning opportunities for software engineers to satisfy their intellectual curiosity 3. Listen to their needs and create a work environment based on mutual trust and respect, where they feel secure to speak up, share ideas, and unafraid to fail 4. Have fun at work

Communication is a key part of a Company's Culture. Having an open communication with the developers to understand what is the help they need for the tasks they are responsible for and as a result, if deemed necessary, rebalancing the task allocation within the team can help the overall project delivery and also help reduce the chances of the developers burnout.

I feel the most important thing is communication, due to open communication barrier each team member should present it's open views and also should listen to other team members. This will create strong communication and understanding among the team.

- 1 on 1 are interesting but can also be discouraging and a source of confusion which can lead to burnout. - every one is unique - humm. Not sure about terminology wrt “open” communication. Transparency and respect will bring trust. In short allowing someone to express themselves without any actions is worse than having no communication. The person has to be heard and there has to be actions

I believe one-on-one is a must and also good to have skip level meetings. This helps in maintaining open communication and creates a healthy work environment..

Mandatory breaks would be good. I sit too long personally. This has caused issues with my back and legs. Refocusing also improves concentration

Favoriser des pauses régulières, s'éloigner du bureau, se promener ou pratiquer des activités de ressourcement. Institutionnaliser des temps de pause obligatoires et des espaces dédiés à la détente. Cela permet aux développeurs de revenir à leurs tâches avec énergie et créativité, réduisant les risques d'épuisement.

This is very much harder to do in a remote or hybrid environment as by definition when you aren't at your desk you can't be seen, so clear example setting and talking about taking breaks is important.

Reconnaître le travail acharné et les réalisations des développeurs, célébrer les étapes importantes, exprimer sa gratitude et récompenser les efforts supplémentaires. Lorsqu'ils se sentent appréciés, leur engagement et leur productivité augmentent, réduisant les risques d'épuisement professionnel.

Rewards and recognitions are a boon to both employees and employers. It doesn't take much from the employers, but such acts creates an environment of goodwill among the employees and work environments that help in creating a more mature and hygienic working environment in the organisation.

Encourager un équilibre sain entre vie pro et privée en limitant les communications après les heures de travail, en respectant les congés et en offrant des modalités flexibles. Lorsque leur temps personnel est valorisé, les développeurs sont plus satisfaits et moins sujets à l'épuisement.

Collective learning sessions as a regular part of the teams work cycle is a great way to help transfer knowledge across the team and learn something new. Senior engineers clarify their thoughts by leading groups and explaining themselves, whilst juniors pick up skills that they might not otherwise have explained to them. A culture of "there are no dumb questions" aka "don;t make me feel stupid for asking" is important, as there are more people with imposter syndrome who are reluctant to ask questions than you'd expect.

Offrir des opportunités de croissance professionnelle comme des formations, des conférences et des parcours d'avancement. Cela permet aux développeurs de rester engagés et motivés, tout en améliorant les compétences de l'entreprise, créant ainsi une situation gagnant-gagnant contre l'épuisement professionnel.

Real work should be awarded with growth in terms of hierarchy and compensation. In fact, it should be both. This is the only way company can make the real talent to hang-on with the company, especially during hard times. Such environment seeds company devoted and company focussed individuals, who will contribute to the company for long times.

In my experience, uninterrupted focus time is a game-changer for devs. Here's why: - Deep work = better problem-solving & innovation. - Context switching kills productivity. - Respecting "focus hours" boosts morale. Here are a few of my insights for leaders: - Encourage devs to block focus time in calendars. ️ - Minimize non-urgent meetings during these hours. - Create a culture that values focused work as much as collaboration.

One thing I have found helpful personally is the ability to do creative work. Mangers should allow team members to work on creative and fun projects which’s adds to learning and generation of ideas plus promotes the art of possible. This limited flexibility can provide unlimited returns in terms of employee morale, dedication and commitment.

Empowering the team to take decisions where required provides a safe psychological environment. This encourages the team to test their limits and explore better solutions, while taking care of their needs. An empowered team would strive to deliver their best within the bounds of time and resources.
