Reports indicate widespread occupational burnout and mental health challenges among workers in Mexico. A national study by Wellhub found that 92% of surveyed employees experienced burnout symptoms within the last year, a trend linked to a lack of awareness regarding labor rights. Middle management was identified as a particularly vulnerable group, with Gallup reporting that 45% of managers face high daily stress levels.

At the local level in Morelia, Michoacán, an institutional survey by the Municipal Institute of Planning (Implan) found that 21% of municipal staff reported severe stress or emotional exhaustion. The survey also highlighted broader psychological concerns, including depression, anxiety, and instances of severe emotional crises. Furthermore, 53% of these municipal employees were reportedly unaware of protocols for reporting workplace harassment or discrimination.
