For all the business owners, here's some insight into helping morale at your business.

While burnout has been a common problem for decades, the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated its impact to a whole new level. It changed the way we work completely – we went from having clear boundaries between our work and personal lives, to the two being intertwined. This fostered an ‘always-on’ culture that is still prevalent in many workplaces today. Take inspiration from Nick Holmes, VP of Employee Experience at Avalere Health (formerly Fishawack Health) and discover the three distinct phases of Project Rebalance, an initiative that empowered employees to manage their time effectively and prioritize their health and well-being: https://hubs.la/Q02dXnZh0 #EmployeeExperience #Burnout #Wellbeing

We spend most of our days at work, so improving the work experience has a bigger effect on our well-being than we might realize.

Employers should proactively prevent work, staffing, and schedules from giving employees unnecessary physical and mental stress, burnout, injuries, and ill health. This is better than just acknowledging the problem or empathising with workers but doing nothing to solve it. Also, employees should know when to speak up, cry out, ask for help or OPT out (last resort) when experiencing symptoms of burnout. A stitch in time saves nine (lives). Shout out to employers who make the workplace a safe haven for their staff. #Burnout #Preventingburnout

Microstresses are routine moments of stress that are caused by everyday interactions. If they accumulate and go unaddressed in the workplace, they can result in lower productivity and loss of purpose and goals. Organizations can reduce the impact of microstress by improving their overall approach to wellbeing.
