Previously employees just stayed late to complete tasks, now often they continue working at home. Are you and your employees truly switching off from work? Improving the mental wellbeing of employees can benefit productivity and performance.
Help Employees’ Work-Life Balance
If there’s a culture of managers checking in with teams after they’ve finished for the day, try to discover the reason and discourage after hours emails and calls. Take a break yourself and encourage colleagues lunching at their desk to join you in the canteen or a walk, agree work won’t be discussed.
Beef Up Breaks
Ask employees for ideas, their engagement will ensure great results. Maybe create quiet areas for staff away from a bustling work environment. For an alternative make an activities space for e.g. Table-Tennis, Scalextric, or Giant Jenga? Happy work relationships can positively impact staff productivity and retention. Just two ways you could help people relax.
