Burnout is something that gets talked about more and more each day, and in today’s digital world, it’s near impossible to disconnect from the stimulus around us. If you’re trying to improve employee engagement, one of the best things you can do is give everyone a chance to disconnect.

When you provide space for your employees to disconnect, you:

· Immediately reduce the risk of burnout

· Have a better chance of positive feedback

· Prove to your employees that you care about their well-being

· Are more likely to see engagement improve over time

You might have a hard time disconnecting yourself, which is totally normal considering the ultra-connected world we live in. However, you’ll notice the positive effects almost instantly when you take time in your day to be present and get centered.

Questions for leaders

1. Do you encourage your employees to take a moment to disconnect?

2. What are some of your favorite ways to avoid burnout in the workplace?

Have you ever considered implementing summer hours for your employees? If you haven’t, there might be some real advantages you’re missing out on.

Burnout is becoming a real problem for a lot of employees, and it’s much better that you get ahead of it instead of scrambling at the last minute when your productivity suddenly starts to drop.

Benefits of summer hours

– Improved flexibility for employees

– Boost company morale

– Summer Fridays boost productivity

– Avoid burnout and stress overload

How to implement summer hours in your workplace

The typical time frame for summer hours is between Memorial Day and Labour Day. While you can choose to incorporate them however you want, most companies take part in “summer Fridays.” You can allow employees to take a half-day every Friday (or every other Friday depending on the nature of your company). The point is, you’re showing employees that you value them enough to give them more time to enjoy themselves outside of work—and increasing efficiency at the same time.

Questions for leaders

1. Do you currently have a policy for summer hours? If not, what makes you hesitate to implement them?

2. What do you do to help prevent employees from experiencing burnout?
