Following new government guidance which is pledging to give employees the right to ‘switch off’, our President, Jo Carr, recently spoke to PRWeek about what this means for our industry. Jo said, ‘let’s face it - burnout is a blight to the PR industry. [...] And 83 per cent felt PR was more demanding on time compared to other industries. The challenge with a ‘right to switch off’ directive will be establishing what responsibility lies with the employer and with the employee when it comes to setting the boundaries.’ The summer holidays are especially challenging for those wanting to ‘switch off’ as many women need to balance childcare with full-time work. Let us know how you navigate the summer holidays and share your tips in the comments ⤵️
