Direito à desconexão e a Síndrome de Burnout: uma questão de saúde mental

Abstract

In recent years, it has become increasingly important to study and debate issues that negatively affect the mental health of individuals in different aspects of life. Among these areas is the work environment, in which the subject spends a good part of his days exercising his work and from which he must have the right to disconnect at the end of the day. However, with the development of technology and the liquidity with which social changes began to occur, several professionals had to adapt to a form of digital work, in which the separation between workday and rest was extremely impaired. This excess of hours beyond the contractual one, linked to always being committed to the service, triggered an increase in the rates of mental illness among workers. In this sense, the present work aims to address the importance of ensuring employee protection and their right to disconnect from the work environment, in order to ensure care for their mental health.
