Abstract

In today's dynamic work environments, employee well-being has become a critical concern for organizations. This study investigates the intricate relationship between routine management, workload, and burnout among employees of Nigeria Bottling Company Plc. The research employed a survey design method, with a sample size of 202 respondents. Descriptive and Pearson correlation analyses were conducted to explore the impact of stress management techniques and breaks during the workday on employee well-being in relation to workload and burnout. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between stress management techniques and employee well-being, indicating that effective stress management strategies can mitigate the negative effects of workload and burnout. Additionally, breaks during the workday were found to significantly impact employee well-being, suggesting that incorporating regular breaks into the work routine can alleviate stress and improve overall well-being. Based on the research findings, recommendations are provided to enhance employee well-being in the workplace. These include the implementation of wellness programs focusing on physical and mental health, as well as the promotion of work-life balance through the encouragement of breaks and utilization of vacation time. By prioritizing employee well-being and implementing targeted interventions, organizations can foster a healthy work environment conducive to employee satisfaction, productivity, and organizational success.
