When teams can't break cycles of unequal work distribution

My department at work has been trying to address burnout by redistributing workload, but every time we meet to discuss it, the same people volunteer for everything and others stay quiet, so nothing actually changes. We're all complaining about being overwhelmed but we can't seem to break the cycle of how we assign responsibility.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Everyone wants change but the group dynamics that created the problem keep reasserting themselves.
