Having spent 7+ years in the software engineering trenches before moving into corporate wellness consulting, I’ve seen this disconnect firsthand.

When a team’s collective bandwidth is depleted, you see it directly in your metrics:

• Slower code-review turnaround times
• Rising afternoon bugs and rework
• Quiet disengagement from your highest performers

Real burnout prevention in tech requires structured, science-backed nervous system resets that fit seamlessly into an engineering workflow — not generic wellness fluff.
