Burnout and Team Size: How Staffing Levels Impact Employee Well-Being
Burnout isn’t just about long hours—it’s about sustained imbalance. And one of the biggest drivers? Team size.
When teams are understaffed, employees are often stretched thin, forced to juggle workloads beyond their capacity. This can lead to increased stress, decreased job satisfaction, and eventually, burnout. According to Gallup, “Employees who feel unsupported or overwhelmed by workload are 2.6 times more likely to say they’re “very often” burned out.”
Why staffing levels matter
Smaller teams can foster tight collaboration—but only when the workload matches the bandwidth. When resources are limited and expectations stay the same (or increase), it creates an unsustainable environment that impacts productivity and morale. Conversely, adequately staffed teams are more likely to report higher engagement, better performance, and stronger retention.
The cost of burnout
Burnout doesn’t just affect individuals. It costs organizations in the form of turnover, absenteeism, and decreased output. Forbes noted that, “Lost productivity and turnover are among the most expensive consequences of burnout. A study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine estimates that burnout costs American companies between $4,000 and $21,000 per employee annually due to lost productivity and turnover. For a company with 1,000 employees, that could mean losses of approximately $5 million annually. Employee burnout can cost employers 0.2 to 2.9 times the average cost of health insurance, and 3.3 to 17.1 times the cost of training per employee.”
What can companies do?
Assess workload regularly: Keep a pulse on your team’s capacity and adjust accordingly.
Invest in the right hires: Bring in talent that complements your current team and lightens the load.
Encourage time off and boundaries: A well-rested team is a more productive team.
Partner with a staffing expert: Agencies like Green Key can help fill gaps quickly and strategically—so your team stays balanced and burnout-free.

#WeAreGreenKey: Spotlight on Jake Papi
Welcome back to #WeAreGreenKey, where we shine a spotlight on our powerhouse recruiting teams.
Recently, we had the opportunity to meet with Jake Papi, Account Executive on our Accounting Support/Financial Services team at Green Key.
Since stepping into the recruitment industry about two years ago, Jake has been dedicated to matching top talent with the right opportunities. Now an Account Executive at Green Key, he focuses on the Accounting Support and Financial Services division, helping businesses find the professionals they need to thrive. With a strong commitment to relationship-building and a deep understanding of the industry, he plays a key role in connecting clients and candidates for long-term success.
Can you tell us about your career journey and what led you to this role?
I began my career right out of college, working at a software company selling accounting software. I quickly realized I enjoyed the people aspect of sales and wanted a full-cycle sales experience. This led me to a large recruiting firm, where I discovered my passion for connecting with people and helping them find opportunities.
I found success in recruiting, particularly in accounting and finance, and within 6-7 months, I transitioned to the account executive side. After a few years, I joined Green Key, where I’ve been for the past two years. My journey has been about leveraging my people skills, developing lasting relationships, and using prior accounting/sales background to specialize in accounting and finance recruiting.
What are the biggest challenges you face in this role, and how do you overcome them?
Recruiting presents multiple challenges, with one being the need to adapt and improvise quickly. The job and candidate market are constantly changing, as are client needs. It’s essential to expect the unexpected, focus on controlling what you can, and lastly be able to transition/improvise on a moment’s notice.
How do you stay updated on trends in financial services and accounting support?
I stay updated on trends through various streams, primarily online research and continuous learning. However, I find that I learn the most from in-depth conversations with candidates and clients. These discussions provide valuable insights into the industry, which I can then share with our clients/candidates. At the end of the day, no one knows more than the person in the seat!
What strategies do you use to match top talent with the right opportunities?
Other than utilizing Green Key’s top technology, the most important thing for me is having a qualification meeting, whether face-to-face or virtual, to fully understand the business, the business needs/structure and why the position is open. It’s crucial to know how long the position has been open and the business pain if it remains unfilled. By having a thorough conversation and asking challenging questions, I can understand the need and relay this information to my recruiting team and candidates. This helps us sell not just the job requirements but also the client’s value propositions, such as benefits, 401K match, and company culture.
How do you differentiate yourself in a competitive market?
For me, relationships are key. I focus on building genuine connections with my clients rather than transactional ones. I’m constantly in touch, ensuring placements are doing well and following up regularly. It’s more than just finding candidates; I provide market information, account management, insight, and knowledge, fostering a deeper relationship.
What advice would you give to professionals looking to grow in financial services recruiting?
One piece of advice I’d give is to always ask questions and surround yourself with talented people. At Green Key, I’ve had the opportunity to be mentored by a partner who guides and teaches me, allowing me to learn from the best. It’s important to be in an environment where you’re constantly improving and not the best in the room. Building connections in the industry, whether with candidates or recruiters, is crucial for growth. Keep asking questions and continue learning.
What motivates you in your work every day?
What motivates me is truly feeling like a trusted staffing advisor to my clients. My personal “why” is my family, but professionally, it’s the ability to place candidates with the right organizations. I strive to be a trusted business partner, where clients rely on me to meet their needs and trust that I’ll find the right person for the job. Additionally, placing people with amazing organizations is incredibly rewarding. It motivates me to find the perfect match and ensure both the candidate and the organization thrive.

#WeAreGreenKey: Spotlight on Olivia Martinez
Welcome back to #WeAreGreenKey, where we shine a spotlight on our exceptional corporate team.
This week we caught up with Olivia Martinez, Director of Marketing on our Corporate Marketing team.
In just two and a half years, Olivia has built an impressive marketing career, starting as a Marketing Coordinator and quickly rising through the ranks at her previous employer before joining Green Key as Director of Marketing. Her ability to drive strategy, foster brand growth, and adapt to an ever-changing industry has set her apart. Now, she’s bringing her expertise and fresh perspective to Green Key, leading the marketing team into its next phase of innovation. In this feature, we explore her journey, leadership approach, and vision for the future.
Can you share your journey to becoming the Director of Marketing and the key experiences that have shaped your approach?
I began my marketing career right out of college in 2022. At my previous company, I was the first and only member of the marketing team, which presented both a challenging and rewarding opportunity. I had to be innovative and create many initiatives from scratch. This experience was instrumental in setting me up for success in my current role as the Director of Marketing at Green Key. It taught me the importance of creativity, resilience, and the ability to adapt quickly to new situations.
What innovative strategies are you currently implementing to keep the marketing team ahead of industry trends?
I believe that competitor and industry research is crucial, not to copy others, but to draw inspiration and stay competitive. Marketing, especially in the recruiting industry, is dynamic and constantly evolving – It’s so important to continuously put time aside to brainstorm ways to elevate myself, my team, and Green Key as a whole.
What emerging trends in digital marketing do you find most compelling, and how are they influencing your strategic plans?
One of the most compelling emerging trends in digital marketing is the popularity of short-form video content on platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. These shorter videos are highly engaging and effective at capturing attention quickly, especially among younger audiences.
This trend has encouraged us to start thinking about how we can incorporate more videos into our future marketing strategy that resonates with our target audience and showcase our brand’s personality in a more dynamic way.
How would you describe your leadership style, and how does it contribute to fostering creativity and collaboration within your team?
Leading by example is, in my opinion, the best approach to leadership; demonstrating capability and knowledge can inspire a team or colleagues to trust you and work harder when they see you are also putting in the effort. I always welcome questions and feedback from my team, and I always aim to foster a community of encouragement and support within any team I am a part of.
What key performance indicators do you consider most important when evaluating the success of your marketing efforts?
I focus on several KPIs to evaluate the success of our marketing efforts. Email campaign metrics are crucial, as they help us understand what we should and should not be doing when we are doing our outreach. Website traffic is also very important since we house all our job listings on our site, and we want to ensure we are getting significant visibility.
Looking ahead, how do you envision the future of marketing, and what steps are you taking to prepare for upcoming changes?
I believe that marketing is often seen as an old-school discipline by those outside the field, but AI is becoming increasingly prominent in the industry. Embracing this change rather than fearing it is crucial, there is a lot of power in leveraging technology to make our jobs easier and free up time for more impactful tasks. To prepare for upcoming changes, we are prioritizing technology at Green Key and integrating AI tools into our marketing processes and continuously exploring new technologies that can enhance our efforts.
What advice would you offer to marketing professionals who aspire to drive innovation and build impactful strategies in their organizations?
My advice to marketing professionals is not to be afraid to fail! Especially when starting out, failure is inevitable, and that’s okay. Not every campaign will be successful, and not every initiative will drive the desired results. However, it’s important to pay attention to what went wrong so you can grow and learn from those mistakes instead of beating yourself up over it. I have learned so much from real life experience and trying different strategies I have picked up from other marketing professionals and marketing classes/seminars I have attended. Real-world experience is invaluable, so pay attention to any tips & tricks given to you and prioritize experimenting and learning.
