Avoid Workplace Burnout
Have you noticed a sharp decline in your or your employees’ productivity? Do you or your workers seem depressed or sluggish and race for the door as soon as it’s time to clock out? You might be suffering from workplace burnout.
With increasing pressures and demands shouldered by both executives and employees, it’s no wonder that the level of employee burnout is at an all-time high! But you don’t have to sit back and watch your company suffer helplessly. Use the following tips to avoid workplace burnout and improve your company culture.
1. Promote Work-Life Balance
A work-life balance is essential in creating a welcoming atmosphere for employees, making workers feel valued and avoiding redundancy and burnout. Companies as large as Apple have implemented work-life strategies to develop a more positive environment. Some of the best ways you can promote a work-life balance in the workplace include:
- Making the office more inviting: Consider adding spaces in your office for workers to spend time by themselves and with each other, such as a fitness room or cozy coffee bar.
- Provide employee morale: Create reasons why your staff and employees want to come to work, entertain dress-down-days, halloween costumes, favorite college football teams, or even create goals enabling co-workers to put their heads together to perform at their very best!
- Valuing vacation days: Close early before holidays and encourage employees to use their vacation days to get away from work for a healthy amount of time.
2. Build Relationships
Executives and employees should be in constant conversation about deadlines, workloads and any questions or comments that may arise. As an employer, don’t be afraid to always keep your door open as an invitation to employees — and to have open, honest conversations with workers who choose to accept this invitation. Include employees in important decisions and try to make each person feel like a valued member of your team!
3. Host Employee Team-Building Events
There’s a reason why many Fortune 500 companies including Google and Facebook use team-building events and games to and employee morale — because it works!
