1. We conduct Happy hours and social activities as a best practices after the Project is over by providing food & water and giving increments and bonuses to people,during happy hours people start conversation to relieve the burnout
2.Completing too many administrative tasks,Not having enough time with patients,Working too many hours,Keeping up with growing patient demand,worrying about online reputation are the causes of physician burnout. www.patientpop.com

3.To address the Physician burnout
Enhancing communication in medical practice with team huddles is one systems-based approach to reducing physician burnout. Developing clinician float pools to cover life events,allowing flexible schedules,including scores for physician satisfaction and creating a wellness committee and infrastructure.

Keep in mind that 'office politics' which sometimes evolve from Happy Hour and social activities can contribute to stress as much as anything else, as can public issuance of bonuses and any other kind of award or recognition. I'm not suggesting socializing is bad, just be award of the risks. When staff is respected and recognized through the work day these add-ons should not be necessary.

We don't all have time and inclination to 'socialize' at the office. Some of us prefer to be home with our loved ones.

Some of us would preferred to be paid our worth rather than compete for bonuses and recognition.
