Taking Paid Time Off is vital for your well-being and productivity. It rejuvenates your mind, boosts creativity, and strengthens relationships. It's a win-win for both employees and employers, promoting better mental and physical health while enhancing job satisfaction. So, don't delay – take that break! #avestaffing

For anyone who would like to view a 2023 time capsule of the current state of the world of work, look no further than guest Bartleby's column in The Economist ⏳ ⏲ 🔹 Sunday scaries 🔹 Mondayitis 🔹 Four-day working week 🔹 Tuesdayitis (a personal favourite) 🔹 Bare-minimum Mondays What will be the buzz-words in 50 years' time? #employmentlaw #employmentlawyer #futureofwork #hr #hrdirector #GC #employers

Did you know that employees who take regular vacations are less likely to experience burnout and more likely to have higher job satisfaction and productivity? 📈 According to the American Psychological Association, taking time away from work can reduce stress, decrease the risk of heart disease, improve relationships, and increase overall well-being . In roles like financial counseling, where we’re dedicated to helping others, it’s especially crucial to unplug and focus on self-care. Shifting from "helping others" mode to "taking care of yourself" mode is essential for refilling your cup and maintaining the energy and empathy required for our jobs. 📈Statistics show that 55% of Americans do not use all of their paid time off, and those who do are more likely to report being happy with their job and life . By taking advantage of your PTO, you’re not just benefiting yourself; you’re also enhancing your ability to serve others effectively when you return. That being said, slam that laptop shut, set your out-of-office message, and take the time you’ve earned. I know I am! Your mental health and job performance will thank you! The mountains are calling, see you in June! ⛰ #MentalHealth #PTO #WorkLifeBalance #FinancialWellness #TakeABreak

Starting a new year is a perfect time to evaluate how you manage your time. If one of your issues is saying “yes” to too many things whether at work or otherwise, then this post is for you! Here are the top five things you should do to help you take control of your time. #HappyNewYear #TimeManagement #Overcommitted

Dear Employers and HR Managers Closing late or leaving work on time is not a Key Performance Indicator or Key Result Area and it does not translate to a staff being productive. What you should be measuring is actual performance, quality of work, effectiveness, efficiency, professionalism and so on. That a staff closes late does not translate to commitment, efficiency, output or quality of work. It's actually not your business if a staff chooses to leave work right at closing hour, as long as there isn't any task that should be closed out on or beyond deadline. Some people have young children that need their attention, some have aged or a sick parent or relation that they have to care for after work; some have classes/ courses they are taking; some people are learning to swim, dance etc.; some live far away from work; some just have a lovely family they can't wait to be with after several hours apart. On the other hand, some choose to stay late to avoid their abusive spouse/parents/siblings; some are experiencing domestic violence that they would rather be away from their home as much as possible; home is lonely for some; some are avoiding heavy traffic and so on. Stop comparing people, people's realities are different. That A chooses to leave work at 9pm and another chooses to leave right at closing hour does not mean A is more committed. Some people are very active during the day while some are active in the evenings. Let people breathe, let people work happily, let people LIVE. Life is not all about work, health and family matters too. People are at different stages of life, some are single, some are married, some have all their children in boarding houses, some have babies, some have toddlers, some are newly married.... All these translate to how people choose to spend their time and what's priority for them. Let people LIVE.

We're living in a world that never slows down. I ran a LinkedIn poll with 219 votes: 81% said they desperately need more PTO. Why? Because apparently, PTO isn't always relaxation anymore. It's about catching up on life’s chaos—errands, appointments, even moving homes. No wonder people come back to work exhausted. Companies must step up. Give your people more time to truly rest. The payoff? Better mental health and boosted productivity. It’s time to prioritize people over endless hustle. What do you think?

Sometimes the biggest drags on our time are invisible. It's the sneaky leaks of our time that we don't pay attention to that take the most mental energy and take over our life. if you find yourself working long hours with little to show for it you may be falling victim to this problem too. -‐‐------ Interested in learning more about how to earn your full-time income working part-time hours?

Already fallen off the wagon....? Good! Let's try something different.... To embrace a new approach to New Year's Resolutions. As we step further into this new year, here's a different perspective on resolutions: Why not make just one, and that is to avoid the traditional pressure of setting unrealistic goals? Let's aim for progress, not perfection. How about striving to be just 5% better in the areas you wish to grow or improve... Consider these small yet impactful changes: 1. If the gym feels like a distant land, try going just three times this month. 2. Miss breakfast often? Start your day with a hearty meal once a week, perhaps on a leisurely Sunday when you have the time 3. Snooze button enthusiast? Challenge yourself to hit it one less time daily. 4. Nightly drinks more of a routine? Dedicate one evening a week to sipping on mineral water and lemon instead. 5. Lacking quality time with your partner? Schedule a dedicated night each month to reconnect. 6. Job not your passion? Begin exploring new opportunities and stay open to unexpected possibilities. 7. Takeout a daily ritual? Opt for home-cooked meals one day every two weeks. 8. Weekend TV binging keeping you from your dreams? Designate one weekend day a month without the screen. 9. Struggling to be present with your kids? Dedicate a solid 10 minutes every day to be completely 100% engaged with them. 10. Complaining about life with certain friends? Spend 5% less time with them and connect 5% more with those who inspire and engage in meaningful conversations. It's not about being perfect. It's about moving the needle ever so slightly that overtime these habits just continue to stack without you really noticing much. Here's to a year of realistic and achievable growth! 🌱 Let's make it a journey, not a destination. #NewYearNewApproach #ProgressNotPerfection
